Your Story Deserves to Be Preserved

Because some memories should never be forgotten.

You’ve lived a life full of meaning — moments that shaped you, lessons that guided you, and memories that still stir your heart. These aren’t just memories — they are your legacy.

But stories fade. Details blur. And too often, they’re lost before they can be passed on.

As the Legacy Writing Guide, I help people preserve their stories through guided memoir writing — creating a lasting legacy that celebrates life, honors truth, and speaks to future generations. Whether you want to share wisdom, capture memories, or reflect on your journey, I’ll help you write a legacy worth remembering.

Because preserving stories is more than a gift — it’s a way to celebrate life through stories, to write your lasting legacy, and to ensure your voice lives on.

Are you ready to give your memories a lasting home — one story at a time?

I'm Odelia

Author · Memoirist · The Legacy Writing Guide

I wrote my first story at age ten — a simple moment that sparked a lifelong love of writing. Decades later, when I published my memoir You Are Allowed, I discovered something even more powerful: writing can heal, clarify, and reveal strength we didn’t know we had.

Now, I help others experience that same transformation.

I guide people through the deeply personal process of preserving memories and capturing stories — not by rewriting them, but by honoring them just as they are. Every voice matters. Every life is worth writing down.

Because when we take time to reflect and write, we create more than just words on a page —
we create a lasting legacy.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my website.

I'm eager to hear from you and learn about your story.

Your story is your legacy — and I’d be honored to help write it

I m on a mission

My mission is to help people tell their stories with honesty, heart, and meaning.

Through guided memoir writing — whether one-on-one or in a group — I offer a gentle, supportive space for reflection. Together, we preserve stories that matter, celebrate life through memories, and give voice to the wisdom and experiences that shaped you.

Whether we meet once or work together over time, my purpose remains the same:

To help you honor your journey, write your lasting legacy, and share it with the people you love.

Because your story isn’t just part of your past —
It’s a gift for the future.

Catching Memories: Preserve your Story

A Guided Program to Preserve Your Life Story

Catching Memories is a personalized legacy-writing experience where your stories are transformed into timeless treasures. Through a warm, conversational process, I help you reflect, remember, and preserve what matters most.

This program was inspired by a moment that changed me: in 2006, I listened as a friend’s father shared his Holocaust story — a story he had never told before. That conversation revealed the power of storytelling, the depth of human experience, and the importance of capturing these memories before they’re lost.
