Why Share?

As I’ve gotten older, the world has felt more and more like it’s being torn apart. On the nightly news, social media, and schools and workplaces, people no longer seem to pay attention to our common humanity. In our communities, civic duties have been cast aside, and social responsibility is an old-fashioned ideal. You’ve probably felt this way at one point or another. But we’re not beyond repair. Remembering the past teaches us lessons about the present. No matter your story, it can make a difference. You may have a minute-long story, years of material, or somewhere in between. Whatever it is, I hope you’ll consider passing your memories on — they’re desperately needed. We all learn from unexpected sources, so I hope you’ll click “Share Your Story” and consider being one. You can also read others’ contributions at “Our Stories.” I Hope you enjoy!
