Hi, if we've never met before, my name is Kris LeDonne. I am a podcaster, a business owner, a photo lover, a music lover. A photo memory preservationist, and I make a living making sure that my client's favorite photos and memories and stories are preserved and shareable in ways that that really lift them up basically I thrive on being an encourager. Welcome to my workshop. this is where I perform all kinds of transformations with family memories for a living, and it's, it's one of my happy places. You'll see lots of plants and pictures and things that are significant to me. And I've found that just in my life experience being surrounded by people and remembrances of things that are important and that really elevate me and make me feel goodh help me show up better for you. I even have just a little candle next to the camera here, because these are little things, little indulgences I can do to show up for myself. So that I could show up better for the world. I received an inspiration based on all of the things that I love to do, I'm pretty darn good at, and the transformations that I've seen them make in clients and family and loved ones lives. And I'm really excited about this inspiration because I'm delivering it. I'm serving it up boldly in 2024. And right here at the beginning of the year, I want to just offer some food for thought. And maybe the offering that your heart is calling for, or somebody that you know, and you love will benefit from. Okay. Let me begin. I have for decades, enjoyed putting photos into albums so that we have a tangible tactile experience of some of our lives. Best favorite moments and memories. And 1 thing I've noticed is a lot of the people I talk to love their photos, but they don't want to spend their time crafting these things. And so it's been my joy to serve that up for them. Just to help them keep making memories and I'll just help deliver back the ones that they love the most in, in tactile ways that they can retell their stories, remember it and pass them on. Now, there are many reasons why people do this. It could be to mark a special occasion. It could be to inspire hope for the future. It could be to preserve a legacy of like heritage. You know, it's really important that we know our roots. Where we come from and roots always need to grow before branches can. So that's a little bit about why I just, I love albums and my mom actually made an album for me. I'm so blessed that I still have my mom and my dad in my life. The point. I'm about to make receiving an album crafted for me. Of photos of me as a child was really transformational. It was really actually created to tell stories of when mommy was a little girl or my children, it was a gift from their grandmother to my children. The gift that it gave me was a sense of remembering who I really am, where I came from. Well, a lot of my personal development and, and evolution in this human experience came from realizing there are things in the past that I was carrying with me that no longer serve me anymore. They were true then to a degree, but they're things that just, I needed to outgrow and I'd never quite put to rest so I could grow out of them. And when you hold on to old clutter like that, it tends to crowd things in our hearts and our minds and our stories and our memories that don't make space for newer, more evolved, more vibrant. Expansion to come in new ideas, new stories, if we're always stuck in loops from old stories. So looking at these lovingly crafted pages about me or my children helped me do a little bit of inner child work for myself. Now, if you're still listening, I'm going to trust that there's some degree of understanding or you know it's coming. When those pages were crafted it made my mom feel fantastic to reminisce. It made my kids delighted to find out what I was like as a little kid. You know, the good, the bad, the messy and the mischievous because kids have such a wonderful way of looking at things. And for me, every time I look at that, I discover something else that I today attached to when I was a child, whether it was aware of it or not. And it gives, it gives me better understanding and I've just been able to heal and put things away. Now, this is the foundation of why and where the inspiration came from today that I'm delivering to you slowly, but stay with the storyteller because I'm going to get there. I promise. The other thing I have is, you know, years of experience working with people's pictures, I decided to name my business Reminiscence. And while that might be a difficult vocabulary word to spell, there was no other word that really encapsulated the feeling that I just love to marinate in something beautiful, something delicious, a beautiful memory. And if I'm blessed to have a visual image or a video to help that rediscovery of that moment, all the better, but reminiscence my definition is marinating in the things that make me feel loved for the purpose of not just feeling good, can share that love with somebody else that I love. Now, it's, that's two layers of a three layer thing. The real crowning effect of beautiful reminiscence. It's creating a new memory, a new bond, a deeper strengthened relationship with that person that I'm sharing it with. That person could be me and it could be somebody in the room with me and it could be somebody across the world that I'm communicating with thanks to our beautiful technologies. But the reminiscence is for the purpose of not staying in the past, but building on it, building on it. And we are very fortunate in our human experiences. We get to decide how much of our past we are going to carry forward with us. So reminiscence for me is a very intentional decision of choosing what we're going to remember, what we're going to share with another, and what we're going to, that those just like planting beautiful seeds and seeing them root and sprout into something new and beautiful to nourish our souls. So those experiences are multi sensory, it's emotional, it's tactile, it's visual, it's audible. And there's energetic exchange that we are so empowered to be able to perpetuate. So what I'm coming to you for today. Is to share this new inspiration for 2024. I want to invite you to get ahead of the ball with me. What moments have you measured that you thought were really special that you want to carry and curate to go forward with you? Let's get ahead of the ball. Let's select. What moments we're going to capture in a photo and then just keep staying present with it. Don't stay stuck behind these devices, just use them for the beautiful tools they are and put them back and stay present with me and let's curate them. And I want to invite you if this resonates to be one of my eight 2024 clients who are going to take advantage of this very, very special experience. I only have eight spots and I actually, I think one of them is already taken, but what we're going to do is I'm calling it the 2024 legacy replay curating highlights from each month. My clients who are partaking in the legacy replay will submit 24 photos each month. Along with some reflections. I'm going to make it so simple. I will be spoon feeding you. Okay. Time to send me the pictures. Here's how, okay. Answer, these simple little questions and that I'm going to go to work compiling them into a legacy album. So you have something to have and hold and to share, and the pages can retell the stories, however you choose to have them retold according to the questions I'll ask you, this will be very, very easy for you. You're making memories and then choosing which ones you want to keep perpetuating and enjoying. In addition, I'm going to be delivering to you a brand new product I've developed. And I, it actually, ironically has the abbreviation CPR: Curated photo Replay. And it's a multimedia experience. You will get this digital file in a way you can watch it. You'll see the images you love, you'll hear the stories, you will hear music, you will see special effects. You can actually treat it movie theater style to sit view and receive the reminiscence of a lifetime. It will be delivered in the new year for 2025 so you can look back and have the ultimate reminiscence of the best partsof, this year that we are creating right now, you are manifesting the memories that can be in your legacy replay. Your 2024 is going to be so beautiful because you will be showing up and you will be present with the memories that you know you will be blessed by next year. And keep in mind, not everything is smiling at the camera. I want you to hear my soul speaking to yours, telling you the beauty that is in front of you. Not me, the beauty of your life. And I want to be that loving mirror that reflects back to you. What's going to benefit you, bless you and empower you to live an even fuller, more beautiful life. And the kind that you want to share with those that you love yourself, first of all, and those who are with you today and in the future. So how does that sound?
