E48 - Merle Saferstein Author of Living and Leaving My Legacy, vol. 1 - The Power of a Journal

EPISODE 48 - Connection with others has always been most important to me, so I welcome you to my website. I’m delighted that you’re here and hope you will find something meaningful that sparks your interest. If you do and would like to talk about it, please contact me.Before you read on, you might want to watch a few of the clips from an interview I did with Raymond Ellman, the founding editor-in-chief of Inspicio Arts, an arts publication sponsored by Florida International University’s College of Communication, Architecture, and the Arts. Within these short clips, you will be introduced to my work with Holocaust survivors, a sacred legacy journal project I did for the daughter of a friend who had died, some of my educational experiences, my journaling, and more.In 2012, I completed Room 732, my debut collection of short stories based on the Hollywood Beach Hotel. Ever since 1984, with each walk I took along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, I thought about writing this book. I never lost sight of that goal and finally cleared the space to sit down and make it happen.After twenty years of working on my legacy journal project, I published Living and Leaving My Legacy, Vol. 1. —a legacy journal for this and future generations. In reading through 359 of my journals, I came to understand the value and impact of journaling as well as the importance of sharing the essence of who I am. I do so in the hopes that readers will look at my life as a mirror into their own. My ultimate goal is to help people understand that how we live our lives becomes our legacy.https://merlersaferstein.com/___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast presented by https://truemediasolutions.ca/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
