What’s your story? We all have one––more if you’re my age. So why not share your wisdom, maybe even write a book, and leave something for your family to remember you by?
Many of you have read There Are No Answers Here, Only Questions, and to each of you who did, I say, “Thank you.” Now, I have one more question for you: “Have you written a review?” For some, that answer is “Yes.” And again, “Thank you.” But for those who haven’t, here are seven reasons why you should.
