Porch Swing Tip of the Week: Dreams and Aspirations

Do you remember that Garth Brooks song, Unanswered Prayers? The lyrics explain that the songwriter’s younger self prayed for something he thought God never answered; then, later in life he understood that he really got a better answer than he had realized. Have you had that kind of experience?

For example, what did you want to be when you grew up, and did that match with where you ended up? Many children have aspirations that are never realized, for one reason or another. A chapter telling about what you have dreamed of — whether it happened or not — could be enlightening to your audience. There may be a goal you had as a younger person, and you’d like to explain what inspired you to lean that direction, how or why the goal was derailed, what you learned from it then, and what years and wisdom have taught you since.

Are there bucket list items you’d like to mention? This chapter would be a good place for that as well.

We have very much enjoyed, helping people gather, tell, and preserve their life stories over the last several years.

At this time, life has other plans for us, so we are ceasing operations at Porch Swing.

If you have any questions please contact us at info@porchswingstories.com

We recommend that you save any stories you placed on your Storysite that you choose to keep prior to December 31, 2025. (Open the chapter you want to save, hit Edit My Chapter, and copy and paste to Microsoft Word or another format.)

Thanks!
