THE BOOK OF ME

Tutor: Anne Gormley. B.A. H. Dip in Ed. Hons, M.A. Mod English Literature/Hons.

 Would you like to leave your real-life story behind when you pass on? Your story can be

something very special for the people who are close to you in life. Whether this is your

children, Grandchildren, nieces/nephews or siblings, I’m sure that your legacy is something

everyone close to you would like to know.

We all pass through life where we experience trials and tribulations, but also gain

accomplishments and have special moments that we would like to transmit to others and

ensure that they remember us.

Everyone has stuff in the mind closets that may be daunting and difficult to share. These

may be lessons along the path of life that has made you who you are today, things that are

good, bad and even ugly.

In this 12-week course we will find the space to explore your memories whether of your

childhood or where you lived, your most memorable teacher or mentor, your proudest

moment, some big changes in your life from childhood to adulthood to middle and old age

and share lessons with those who may be going through the same thing.

Creating “The Book of Me” will allow us consider and reflect on the events and times that

have led you to where you are today. You will get an opportunity to document your special

moments and explain the real reasons why you are who you are.

In the workshops we will draw from the following content and set it down in a vivid and

memorable way:

Your Childhood and where you lived

Someone who influenced you greatly

Your best or worst day

Your most prized possessions

Your favourite place/s

Someone you will always remember and why

Your proudest moment/s

Something about your life or yourself you wish you could change and why.

Something or someone who had a big impact on your life for good or bad!

A crucial or important period of time in your life and why

Changes that affected you in life

An Epic Journey you took

Your favourite recipes, actor/actress, music, country, job, place that you lived
