What is “Relighting Us”?

relighting us websiteIt is the use of words to bring back lost joy. Words have power. In the loss of my partner of 62 years, words were all I had left. Words that could describe the remembrances of the joy we had. They are many, precious, and in my deepest thoughts. They swirl about in this lonely container of my mind.

Writing stories them allows me to share with others. In their retelling, it brightens us all. Relighting.us is an opportunity for others to participate with your own stories. And to share your joyful memories too!
