'What Will Your Story Be?' is the title of a chapter in JOY: What My Heart Taught Me. The message is that we know not what our history or story will be when looking forward. It is only when looking back on one's life that one's story unfolds.
Today, I have been moved to tears by the stories of the life of George H.W. Bush, 41st President of the United States. Most are familiar with that chapter of his story, but his story is so much more than that. And while he may not have been admired as President at the time, it is clear looking back that his Presidency, and so much more of his life, have had a profound impact on our nation and the world. He was a respectful and respected soldier and statesman, a generous man who put our nation's wellbeing ahead of his own As if that part of his story were not enough, for most of us will never achieve such greatness, George H.W.'s story reveals him to have been a kind, funny, humble, and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Those who had the privilege of knowing him best will likely remember this part of his story best. May he rest in peace. May we joyfully lead lives that weave a story worthy of remembering and retelling.

It's definitely a good thing to be able to share your experience to people and have it written on a book, or in a website where you can see the similar stories. If there are things you want to narrate and you would love to have it read by the public, then you must join the book to have you included on the next chapter. But there are also other things you can do to find a better choice! All things depend on how you want to get it done.
