Writing Workshop Helps People Tell Their Life’s Story

ST.  CLOUD -- How much do you know about your parents, your grandparents, or your great-grandparents? A workshop at the St. Cloud Public Library is helping future generations answer those questions by having people write their life's story.

The seven week workshop began last week, instructor Arlys Krim says each week has as different theme.

"Marriage and family is covered, spirituality - how you developed your own spirituality or what influenced you. Major themes are your career, your life's work - who influenced you to do the work you have chosen for your life."

With each theme, Krim has different activities to help people remember aspects of their lives.

"Each theme also has anywhere between 10-15 questions that will prompt your memory and I also give them exercises that will help them remember things about their childhood."

Although the class started last week, you can still join. The class meets every Monday at 1:00 p.m. in the St. Cloud Public Library's Bremer Room.
