‘As time goes by’ – Memoir Writing sessions provide an outlet and support for members keen to write about their lives.  The ‘500 word’ topics for writing over the holiday period which will be shared at our first session in the U3A Meeting Room on Monday 22 February at 2 pm are:

1.  'One Moment, This Year’  ‘Looking back on 2020, what single moment stands out for you?  Whether it be loss, love, discovery or disappointment, share your unforgettable moment.’

2.  ‘A Love Letter to Travel’  ‘Write a love letter to travel about one place in the world that is special to you. It can be a popular tourist destination, or a place that’s largely overlooked.  You might inspire someone else to go there one day, or to reconsider their assumptions, or to spark their inquisitive-ness about a new piece of the world — all the empowering things that travel brings to our lives’.

A reminder of the topics to be share at our first meeting in late February, which hopefully will be held in the U3A meeting room.

1.  'One Moment, This Year’  ‘Looking back on 2020, what single moment stands out for you?  Whether it be loss, love, discovery or disappointment, share your unforgettable moment.’ Elizabeth Kearns has submitted her story for ‘One Moment, This Year’ already.  It’s so pertinent, we thought we’d include it with this newsletter.  Thank you for letting us share it Elizabeth

2.  ‘A Love Letter to Travel’  ‘Write a love letter to travel about one place in the world that is special to you. It can be a popular tourist destination, or a place that’s largely overlooked.  You might inspire someone else to go there one day, or to reconsider their assumptions, or to spark their inquisitive-ness about a new piece of the world — all the empowering things that travel brings to our lives’.

Did anyone else receive a ‘memoir’ as a Christmas Present?  I’ve just finished reading ’Your own kind of girl’, by Claire Bowditch.  This beautifully written memoir is underpinned by a quest to provide reassurance and support for people who, like Claire, suffer from Anxiety.
