Creating a time capsule at MyHeartwill.com is the perfect way to be remembered and to keep living on. When you create your time capsule, you may include stories, photos, videos or audio recordings, which can be made accessible instantly or in the future.
Your time capsule may reflect your personal autobiography, your family’s biography or both. Your personal and family memories will be instantly accessible and you can schedule messages to be delivered in the future via video, audio or written messages.
When you create a time capsule to reflect your personal autobiography, you can choose the photographs, memorabilia and video recordings you feel will best tell your personal story. People often say a picture is worth a thousand words. As you create your time capsule, you can upload a photograph and then a recording to explain the photograph. You might want to mention where it was taken and why it was taken. If you find it may be relevant, discuss if someone is missing from the photograph. You may choose to upload a few photos into your time capsule or a complete photo album. If you upload a photo album, you can guide future viewers through the album by recording your thoughts and recollections as you go.
When you create a time capsule to reflect your family biography, you can choose how you want to tell your family’s story. As you are adding photos, you are taking children on a journey through the family history and the many emotions. You may choose to use your time capsule to tell the story of your ancestors or you may want to focus on recent family stories.
Include photographs in your time capsule from milestones such as; births, graduations and weddings. You might include text to describe what was occurring in the day of the photos or any relevant information from the day. You might also include video from these special occasions. If you have birth announcements or wedding invitations to accompany the photographs and video, include those as well in your time capsule.
