Tell me more about the spa component. Since writing a memoir can be stressful at times, it is important to reward yourself by taking breaks. The vision of Silver Stories is to offer you writing wellness in the form of aromatherapy, meditation, journaling, and spa recipes. Along with your Memoir Writing Workbook, a Spa Manual (with sample daily routine) is included in your kit.

What is the significance of Silver Stories' water/seaglass theme? We use the element of water as both inspiration and metaphor to help you remember who you are and how you got here.

How do I access my Silver Stories materials? Currently, all memoir writing audio lessons, the Memoir Writing Workbook, and the Spa Manual are available through our Silver Stories website and special online access links.
