Your Autobiography

In your Heartwill you can create your online autobiography with stories, audio, a video, or with pictures. Consider how you want to be remembered. Here are some helpful tips to start create your autobiography online.

When you create a MyHeartwill account at MyHeartwill.com, you will be able to upload all your personal keepsakes and memorabilia.

To begin, you can sort through your keepsakes and decide what you wish to include in your autobiography. You might begin with stories and letters. You might take time to write stories about special moments in your life. For example, you can write about the birth of your child or your wedding day. Be sure to include rich details about the occasion. Your stories do not have to be perfect. Just let the writing flow and naturally be yourself. Creating your autobiography through stories, detailing special moments, is a sweet legacy to leave online for those who love you.

Sometimes the easiest keepsakes to get started with are your photographs. You can group them into their occasions and then put these in chronological order. As you sort through them you will be reminded of special moments to include. Once you have sorted through your photographs, upload them into the “photo” section of your Heartwill online. Then, you can add stories, video, text and audio to describe these photos. You might also include photographs from family members and loved ones. You can scan these or upload them digitally into your Heartwill.

You can also get started by adding audio of yourself telling your autobiography. If you are not sure what to say, you can carry around a recording device and speak into it as you become inspired. If you need a starting point you might explain where you were born and what was happening in your family during the time of your birth. When writing, include as many interesting facts as you can think of. You are creating a story, which will provide a connection to you for your loved ones. In your autobiography, you could also mention your family and friends or share your gratitude for the people in your life. Tell a story about a time when a loved one really supported you and how this made a difference in your life.  The people in your life are the heart of your online autobiography.
