SHARE YOUR WISDOM IN A MEMOIR a memoir can be the perfect way to spend your time. As you gain enough distance from life events to grow useful perspectives, the stage is set for self- discovery and transformation. Even more so, your life experiences can give valuable insights to readers of all ages and circumstances. That’s why biographies and memoirs are such popular genres — reading about real people helps others understand the world and how they can live in it. DO YOU HAVE A STORY TO TELL? To get started, pick a theme. Ask yourself these questions, “What message do I want to leave with my readers? What do I want them to feel or understand by reading my words?” From there, select anecdotes that support your theme. Make sure they’re clear and cohesive. Then, write like you would a fictional novel or story. Show, don’t tell, and keep readers invested by having a narrative arc, whether it flows chronologically or jumps back and forth in time. Remember, this is not a time to air dirty laundry; it’s a time to reflect, grow, and share your experiences with the world.
The urge to leave behind a legacy is an inherent human instinct. Whether you accomplish this by raising children, building a successful company, or starting a charitable organization, the desire to share your wisdom should not go unfulfilled. If none of these options work for your lifestyle, writing a memoir may be a good option. A memoir not only tells your story but also passes on the wisdom you’ve gained from your many experiences and offers a unique perspective to inspire future generations. Writing can be a therapeutic exercise at a time when your life may be changing due to retirement or your kids growing up and leaving the house. And because personal reflection is a natural occurrence with age, writing
CONGRATULATIONS, BRITANI QUINDOZA!
Ever wonder how our office works so well? The answer is we have a great team, and we are excited to announce a key member of that team, Britani Quindoza, as our new office manager!

In 2014, Britani transferred to Point Loma Nazarene University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in applied health sciences in 2015. Britani likes to say she grew up (professionally) at NCWSTC, going from a physical therapy aide to front office assistant to office manager as of November 2019. Britani was born and raised in San Diego. She grew up in Rancho Peñasquitos where she now raises her own kids. Britani loves all things fun in the sun. She enjoys miniature road trips and outdoorsy adventures with her husband and two kids, and she loves taking her kids to amusement parks, teaching them new sports, having movie nights, going stand-up paddleboarding, and finding different ways to keep her family active all while enjoying the beautiful city they live in.
