Marysville, OH (PRWEB) July 5, 2004 -- LifeBio, Inc., the leading online personal history company, makes it easier than ever to create and share life stories using new instantaneous preview and ready-to-print features at www.lifebio.com. With only one in 20 Americans taking the time to leave any written legacy to future generations and with growth in the aging population, LifeBio, Inc. predicts that over 20 million people will choose to use LifeBio's affordable and time-saving tools to tell their stories by 2010.
Sharing memories and experiences isn't just for grandparents anymore. LifeBio helps people of all ages and backgrounds to accomplish the task, especially Baby Boomers (born between 1946-1964) who need to tell their own stories and also want to interview their parents before it's too late. The benefits are too good to ignore. Interviewing a loved one builds connections between family members, takes conversation to a deeper level, and avoids regrets that happen when stories are lost.
Researchers are also studying the health benefits that result from sharing memories and experiences, lowering depression and reducing symptoms of chronic disease.
Using www.LifeBio.com and the corresponding book, the LifeBio Memory Journal, participants are asked to describe the people that shaped their lives, their memories from early childhood, the "real world" of adulthood, and their values and beliefs.
The carefully-crafted Question Template at http://www.LifeBio.com allows users to record their memoirs at their own pace and archive them, even making it possible to add a complementary digital picture with every question. Participants just answer the questions they want to answer.
When completed or while still in progress, LifeBio members preview their life story for FREE and pay just $14.95 to receive a ready-to-print version of their personalized digital story in an Adobe PDF file with all questions, answers, and uploaded digital pictures. For those who would rather write than type, the LifeBio Memory Journal ($19.95 plus shipping and handling-available by calling 1-800-247-6553) offers the same questions as www.lifebio.com and provides ample space for recording answers, as well as room for photos, memorabilia, and other notes.
LifeBio.com launched in October 2001 and serves thousands of members today. Beth Sanders, LifeBio's founder and author of the LifeBio Memory Journal, was inspired to form the company in 2000 after interviewing her grandmother in the early 1990s. Sanders found that this ordinary woman's life was truly extraordinary to her, and she wanted others to have the powerful experience of interviewing a loved one or writing their own stories.
Sanders clearly sees family values in family stories. "Life stories help us connect with the past, present, and future. When we review our lives, we see the 'big picture' and it really puts things in perspective."
"Because the web site and book are broken into short sections, it becomes a lot easier and less time-consuming than sitting down to write your memoirs or autobiography without any sort of direction," said Sanders. "Most people are so overwhelmed by the thought of recording their personal history that they dont know where to begin, and they simply never get started. We encourage people to answer just one question a day, adds Sanders. "How often do we wonder about a relative's life, and wish we knew more? Completing a LifeBio is one of the greatest gifts you can give to future generations."
