Before How, Why?
Spending time with the story honors your connection to your person, and sharing creates a public record, maybe making it easier to let go of the physical item (if that’s something you want) while holding on to the memories. Or maybe you want to share the story of an item you have no intention of releasing, and that’s welcome, too.
Whatever you’re moved to share, the hope is that it brings you comfort and peace, maybe even some smiles.
Thank you for sharing.
How to Share
Take a photo.
Take a photo, or photos, of the item.
It doesn’t need to be professional, just clear and in-focus. If you no longer have the item, upload any (PG) photo along with your story.
Tell the story.
What the item is, who it belonged to, when it was made, why your person kept it, why you’re keeping it, or conflicted about keeping it, anything you’re moved to share.
Share it.
Submit via the form on the Share page.
Stories will be identified on the Fridge Door page with first name and last initial unless otherwise requested.
