The remarkable Taneya Koonce of 🌳Academy of Legacy Leaders has left all of us gobsmacked with the freedom and joy of using ephemera and the concept of “Junk Journals” to tell our own stories.
This was so interesting. It's so anthropological too, in the sense of how it gets at the small, everyday experiences that you have and how they tie into who you are as a person. When I was in university, we'd sometimes talk about "alternative" research methods, and things like journalling would come up, but they were never explained in a way that made them feel so important and substantive in the same way like they way you've explained this. Very cool and thought-provoking.
I made this call today and loved it. A great way to tell the story of our lives as we live them now. I've done scrapbooks in the past and have kept bits and bobbs in some of the albums. However, now they're getting digitised to downsize.

Right?! Thank you for coming along.
I enjoyed Taneya's session last night. I've written my life, but I just do it in blog posts mixed in with those about my ancestors lives.

Thank you Barbara and Taneya for a wonderful session today. There was so much to love about it.
