In the A Journal About Me series, Nancy has created a set of journals that follow each decade of life. From My 20s, through My 30s, My 40s, My 50s, and My 60s, each book poses questions designed for that age. Not a conventional journal, each page allows the writer to answer each inquiry multiple times throughout the decade in order to capture updated thoughts. The result is a time capsule for each epic span. My Youth documents the overall journey from birth through the teenage years. Each chapter documents the everchanging world of youth. Questions cover each age and keeps memories from disappearing. If you didn’t keep a journal in your school age years, this will help fill that void. This book becomes a great hand me down to family members and a discussion starter for siblings and parents. All Journals available on Amazon
