A Comment about The Maine Spirit Blog

Historians and horse lovers owe a great debt of gratitude to Stephen Thompson for his thorough and fascinating survey of Maine’s tie to the magnificent beast that, in both work and sport, was a principal means of tying this vast state together in the long era before the automobile. Water Village, my history of Waterville, only touches on the horse, most particularly the astonishing creature named Nelson. Thompson’s work reveals the full tale of the impact of these beloved animals in this area, and in celebration of the horse, future generations will be grateful to know a story that otherwise might have been lost in the mists of time. -- Earl Smith, Dean of College, Emeritus, Colby College

Memoirs -- Telling Your Story -- Sharing Your Memories for Your Children, Your Future Children and Closest Friends

Writing your personal memoir is easy not to do. Making the time and commitment will create a wonderful statement of your life, memorable moments, or even moments you may regret. However, what you write may be significant for one who reads your memoir. 

Once one can write, one can write a memoir. If as a child you write a memoir you may write about a moment that in future years you may not remember.

For many family older generations, for whatever reason, did not tell their stories. I encourage anyone who reads this post to take a look at the links below and make a commitment to tell your story.

Note:    For individuals or families that work in horse related activities: -- Breeders, Trainers, Blacksmiths, Grooms, Farmers, Veterinarians, Photographers, Judges, Statisticians, Announcers, Drivers, Barrel Racers, Show Horses, Jumping, and horse pulls -- Share your story, your memoir of how you became part of horse related activities. Who got you started? How old were you? What were your initial tasks and responsibilities? Where are you today? What have you gotten from being involved with horse related activities. Below are links to websites that may help you write your memoir!
