Our Story
I’ve always loved stories.
I love reading them, hearing them, and discovering the lives behind stories. I also love journalling. For years, I’ve kept prayer journals filled with my prayers, thoughts, and reflections. Looking back through them often reminds me of moments, experiences, and seasons of my life I might have forgotten.
It made me think about how much of our lives we carry in memory but never write down.
Over time, I began thinking about the stories we carry that never get written down.
The childhood memories. The people who shaped us. The difficult seasons we survived. The moments that changed our lives’ direction. The lessons we learnt along the way. Even the small, everyday memories that seem ordinary now but could one day mean everything to those we leave behind.
That is where the idea for Narrative Minds began. I wanted to create something for people who have a story to tell but don’t consider themselves writers. People who want to leave their story for their children, grandchildren, and future generations but don’t know where to begin. Because writing your story shouldn’t require you to be a writer. Sometimes, you just need the right question to unlock a memory.
Narrative Minds was created to provide those questions.
Through thoughtful prompts, we help you reflect on your life one memory at a time. There is no pressure to write perfectly or to tell your entire life story in one sitting. You simply begin with what you remember, in your own words and way.
My hope is that Narrative Minds helps people preserve more than memories. I want it to help families preserve the stories, wisdom, experiences and voices that make them who they are, because one day, someone you love may want to know what your life was really like.
And your story deserves to be there for them to read.
Happy Storytelling!
