MY LIFE
![Page 2: THOUGHTS ABOUT MY LIFE - for information and inspiration · 2018-10-10 · Welcome to the “Thoughts About My Life” book. It is a book for you. You can use it any way you want](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053018/5f1d2e6e876a9c35a6768e15/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
This workbook began with a wish to help people to write stories about their lives. Questions are outlined in this workbook in ways we hope will help people speak up through their stories. People will have opportunity to write about different parts of their lives. We expect they will become more certain about things in their life that they want to remain the same as well as things that they wish would change. Our belief is that if we pay attention to what people say is important to them, we can act on what we learn. Only then will we truly support people in ways that are unique to each individual. The questions outlined in the workbook are primarily derived from materials used to develop Essential Lifestyle Plans, especially “Developing First Plans”, “Listen to Me”, and “Reviewing Criteria for First Plans” by Michael Smull. Other materials referenced include “Read My Lips, It’s My Choice” by Bill Allen, and “Capacity Works” by Beth Mount. This particular workbook was developed by Karen Manning, Robin Reale, Michael Smull and Liz Obermeyer. Preparation of this workbook was supported by the Metro Region of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Retardation. The opinions expressed in the workbook are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Retardation.

A MESSAGE TO SELF ADVOCATES AND OTHERS WHO WANT TO WRITE THEIR STORIES IN THIS BOOK
Welcome to the “Thoughts About My Life” book. It is a book for you. You can use it any way you want. Many people use it in one of three different ways. • To write about things in their life that are important to them. • To get better at reading and writing. • To have fun writing and reading their own stories.
You could even use it for all three reasons. The questions in your book can help you think about how you want your life to be. How you use this book is up to you. You can write about things you like. You can write about things you don’t like. Your book is a way to tell people about what is important to you. It can help you tell people about the things in your life that you want to stay the same. It can also help you tell people about the things in your life that you want to change. (Note to People Helping: Be sure to help the person decide when they begin which of the three purposes or even another purpose they might have for using the book.)
