Self, Place, and Memory

How reflecting upon our stories can reveal our true selves

Beschreibung

Have you considered the significance of place in your life? Places shape the people we are - our values and beliefs, qualities and characteristics, choices and actions. Some of us return to previous dwellings just to reminisce. As we observe these places, we remember important events and reconnect to emotional points of change. When we take time to explore our memories of places, we gain valuable insight into their powerful influence on our lives. This book explores the author's memories of seven places and presents them as short stories and vignettes. Self, Place, and Memory: How reflecting upon our stories can reveal our true selves is the fifth book of A Considerate Curriculum Series by Sherry Ramrattan Smith.
