In January of 2005 while recovering from cancer related surgery, I discovered the internet. With the help of a new notebook computer and encouragement from my family I learnt the basics of surfing the web. My surfing took purpose as I planned for my post cancer life and decided to find a meaningful business to start from home. The internet searches revealed many options but nothing that I could be passionate about until I found Heritage Makers.

This amazing company had produced a product; online storybooking, that touched my heart. Their mission of strengthening families through the power of the stories of our heritage was immediately compelling to me. I wanted my grandchildren to know the wonderful stories of their family. I wanted them to know the family members that had already passed away. I wanted them to know they belong to a family of wonderful people who have lived amazing lives.

Yes, this was for me. I knew I would never feel embarrased to tell someone even complete starngers about these amazing storybooks. This would be a wonderful home based business that I could “do well with by doing good.”

The concept was simple despite my lack of computer expertise. Creating a custom storybook through an online publishing system. No special software to purchase. Access my projects from any computer connected to the internet. Then upload my photos and writre the story associated with those pictures. Pick a design and page layouts then when I am finished the corporate office prints and binds the book and sends it to me in the mail. A beautiful high quality, bound book that my grandchildren can read and read over again. Wow! This was the business for me.

Now 2 years later I haven’t regretted my decision for one moment. I am more passionate about this world of storybooks than I ever was. It is an incredible experience to help my clients make their books and then share that amazing magic moment when they receive their completed book in the mail. I have had long-distance calls from all over the country and emails from clients who are thrilled to receive their books containing their precious photos and stories.
