Manassas, VA (PRWEB) March 8, 2004 --Today, local Prince William County author Andrea Bargsley Vincent released her new book, Bite-Size Pieces of My Past, a workbook for writing your life story in easily digestible bites. The workbook simplifies the process of chronicling cherished memories and penning future speculations, within user-friendly capsules. Bite-Size Pieces of My Past provides a medium for the elderly to preserve their history for future generations.

In her daily work among the elderly, Mrs. Vincent noted an absence of written information regarding the families, origins, and unique life experiences of the elderly -- much of which would make for fascinating reading. Bite-Size Pieces of My Past is a self-authored and easy-to-use memoir which guides its authors through the process of capturing events and memories to form stories of their lives.

Bite-Size Pieces of My Past is a wonderful gift for senior family members, neighbors, and friends. The workbook can also be used for meaningful, interactive projects, where family members and friends help fill the pages while visiting an elderly loved one. In other words, this new workbook helps turn every visit with an elderly or ill family member into a more memorable, cherished event. This process of sharing feelings and memories is sometimes called Reminiscence Therapy or Life Review. It helps the elderly person deal with loose ends" in their lives and other emotional conflicts.

Most of us will never have the sustained patience or motivation to write a standard autobiography," explains Mrs. Vincent. Bite-Size Pieces of My Past provides an easy and enjoyable means to preserve the past for future family generations, guiding chronological observations and remembrances in a simple fill-in-the-blank format." The workbook also provides memory triggering suggestions, such as rifling through old keepsakes to bring people, places, and events back to life.
