I am writing a memoir, even though I know there are a ton and my story isn't the most tragic or biggest rags to riches. I need to write it. My audience, for now, is my family. Will you help me decide on the main story to tell? 1. Telling the story of becoming a mother myself and how watching my own mother wade through trials, while still holding on to her faith in God, has strengthened me. (talking about the conflict of wanting to/having to work and being with children) 2. Coming to terms with my father and some of his unfortunate mistakes that, while they were difficult at the time, have proven to shape who I am. (like moving our family over 20 times before I was 20 - one year we moved 3 time in 3 different states and lived in a tiny mobile home with 5 children on $20,000 a year) 3. How getting to know my great grandma, and some of the trials she went through has strengthened me. (She went from being a cotton picker and living with no electricity to getting 2 degrees)
