Dee Dees first became interested in writing life stories when she read one written by a distant relative she hadn't seen in over 40 years (and barely remembered). However, she thought -- if she found the story fascinating, the woman's own children and grandchildren must have been thrilled to read of the couple's lives and careers.

Then her grandmother wrote bits and pieces of her life story in a booket Dee had given her, providing entertainment and insight into her life. That booklet eventually grew into LifeNotes, a complete, easy-to-use guide to creating your life history.

As a member of Toastmasters International since 1980 and a former member of the Board of Directors of that organization, Dee has travelled and presented seminars on a variety of topics. However, her focus is now on presenting workshops to help others begin writing their own stories.

Dee is married and has a grown son and daughter. She lives in Gilbert, Arizona.
