Your Life. Your Words. Your Legacy.
Memories fade and photos don’t hold the whole story. Your people want the moments, the lessons, the laughter. They want it straight from you.
That’s the heart of Pen Your Past. Simple prompts and structure help you record the pieces that matter most, one story at a time. Even if you’re not a writer, start recording your favorite stories now before they are gone forever.
Begin your story today and leave behind more than just dates and photos.
Why Your Stories Matter
In midlife, our memories often get scattered — tucked into photo boxes, hidden inside family jokes, or left unspoken in our own minds. Too often, years of caring for everyone else means we forget that our own stories deserve space too. Sometimes no one asks. Sometimes it feels like no one notices.
But your stories matter. They’re the threads that hold a family’s history together, the lessons that outlast us, and the laughter and love that shouldn’t be forgotten. Every story you write down becomes a small treasure — something your children, your grandchildren, or even your future self will be glad you saved.
Who This Is For:

This isn’t about being a “writer.” It’s about being remembered. It’s about leaving a piece of yourself behind. And it all starts with one Story Pebble at a time.
Weekly Prompts: One Story at a Time
Sometimes the best way to keep writing is to see it in action. That’s what the One Story at a Time series is for.
Every week, I share a new prompt, a handful of memory sparks, and a short story from my own life. It’s a simple way to:
Here are a few of the most recent prompts and stories:
How Story Pebbles Work
Story Pebbles are more than just prompts. Each one is a little starting point, paired with guiding questions I call memory sparks. Instead of staring at a blank page, you’ll get small nudges that bring a memory back — what you were wearing, the song that was playing, or who was sitting beside you in that moment.
One Pebble holds one story. By itself, it may feel small. But as you gather them, a path starts to appear. Piece by piece, you’ll see a trail of your life that’s worth remembering and passing on.
And the best part? Anyone can do this — no writing experience needed.
Here’s how simple it is:
