Today is an extra post following on from our major 15 month project of creating and writing your Book of Me.

So what is the point of today’s post?

Well, for the last 15 months I have shared with you a prompt and the response and support from the genealogical community has been truly phenomenal.

So, I thought, as a way of celebrating our success that people might like to contribute to a Book of Me Anthology.

The plan

Those interested people who took part in the last 15 months might perhaps enjoy putting fingers to keyboard or pen to paper and contribute. Contributions can be (here are a few ideas)

• Written or Visual and show what the Book of Me meant to you
• Perhaps reflections on the last 15 months
• Perhaps your favourite prompt
• Friendships that perhaps developed across the internet through the Book of Me
• Anything else you fancy

How to send submissions

Preferably as a word document to
 please make sure you send your name and email address with your submission.

Today is week 70 of what has been a 15 month project. Each Saturday, at around 12.30 am UK time I have released the prompt for that week’s Book of Me, Written by You.

If you are new here, welcome! The details, background flyer and Face Book link to the Book of Me can be found HERE.

This week’s prompt is – What have you learnt about yourself and your family?

Think back to the question we asked in Week One – Who am I?
Before you look back at the answers you wrote then, answer the question again.
Now compare are there any similarites, it is the same, or have any of the answers changed?
What has made the change?

Now lets look at the wider and original question – What have you learnt about yourself and your family?
Is there anything you still want to write and explore?

Thanks for joining me on this 15 month project. It has been great having the interaction with those who have taken part. Whilst we have come to the end of this project are you ready to start the next one?

Stay tuned!

This week’s prompt is – Memory Tree.

A few weeks ago I saw this picture. It illustrated nicely the first prompt of the 2015 series, so I saved the picture. Then as I was reviewing this week’s prompt I thought it absolutely illustrated this prompt to, so here it is.

As we head into the festive / holiday season I want us to think of those who will not be with us for the season. If this was your memory tree who would you put on the tree and why?

This can of course be friends and family, but what about former pets and colleagues.
