Preserve What Matters: Introducing the Pen Your Past™ First Stories Collection

Have you ever wished you knew more about your grandmother’s life? Or wanted to pass down stories that your kids or grandkids will treasure forever?
If so, you’re not alone—and you’re exactly who I created this for.

Why I Created Pen Your Past™

I’m a remote-working grandma, recently turned 50 — and lately, I’ve been thinking more about what really lasts.
Not the stuff we buy or the achievements we list on a résumé,
but the moments, the lessons, and the memories that shape who we are — and who we leave behind.

That’s what inspired me to create Pen Your Past™: The First Stories Collection — a printable starter kit to help women in midlife (and beyond) start capturing the moments that matter most.

You don’t have to write a memoir or remember every detail.
You just need a simple, thoughtful way to begin — one page, one memory, one story at a time.

What It Is

The First Stories Collection includes:

• 🖋️ 18 legacy-building writing prompts—designed to spark memories you’ll want to pass on
• 📄 A printable format—perfect for keeping in a binder or adding to your memory journal
• 💡 A storytelling guide—with cozy question helpers, sentence starters, and gentle ideas to make writing easier

Whether you’re writing just for yourself or want to leave something behind for your family, this is your invitation to begin.

How This Fits into the PIM Life Map™

This storytelling kit is part of the Reflect path in the PIM Life Map™ — my 3-part journey designed to help women in midlife find clarity, confidence, and connection through real-life progress:

The Reflect path isn’t just about nostalgia — it’s about honoring your voice, capturing your wisdom, and passing on the stories that shaped you.

Who It’s For

• Women over 45 who want to reflect on life and preserve their stories
• Grandmothers, solo moms, or midlife women navigating new chapters
• Anyone who wishes they had more time to ask the people they love about their lives

It’s also perfect for:

• 💬 Family gatherings and reunions
• 📸 Pairing with printed photos and keepsakes
• 🗂️ Memory kits and life planning binders

How to Use It

• Download and print the collection
• Start with any prompt that speaks to you
• Write a short memory—no perfection required!
• Keep it in a binder, add to it over time, or share it as a gift

Here’s One of My Favorite Prompts:

“The Ordinary Day I Wish I Could Relive…”

You don’t need a dramatic story. Just something real, something meaningful, something that makes you smile.
