About this book
WRITE YOUR LEGACY
Visit a museum, a national park, a castle in Europe, or even the local zoo these days, and you'll likely be directed to "exit through the gift shop." A gift shop can be a metaphor for life. And that's how award-winning journalist Peter Lovenheim found the inspiration for this book as a gift shop of gratitude.Through the lens of twenty common gift shop souvenirs, you are prompted to recall and organize all the things in life you're most grateÂful for. Consider the snow globes and ball caps, the T-shirts, postcards, and jewelry—and let them bring to mind the people, places, and life experiences you hold most dear.After reading a chapter about the evolution of scented candles, what do you remember about the aroma of your mother's cooking? Do key chains prompt memories of a friend or mentor who opened important doors for you? Does a bobblehead recall a beloved teacher or athletic coach?This special book will surprise and delight you with the memoÂries it evokes. Then, by journaling your answers in the Gratitude Pages to these thought-provoking prompts, you'll create your own personal memory book.
