13.01.2022 With Christmas just passed, some of us were lucky enough to spend some time with family and perhaps share some of our families stories. Stories transcend time. They create connections with others. It is through stories that we experience rich emotions and feelings of joy, sorrow, hardships, love and friendship. Stories show us what we have in common with others, and we learn to engage with others despite our differences as we come to understand who they are and where we stan...d in this world. When people pass away it can be the case that we lose those stories that make up our history and as we get older we wish we knew more about our parents, grandparents and alike. At Chats with Pat, our vision is to enhance the lives of individuals, families, and community and to provide an insight into the past by the telling and recording of everyday stories. Let 2021 be the year you tell your story. See more
