Hi, It’s great to have you with us today! Please share with our readers about yourself.
Hi, my name is Jeanne-Louise. Beyond my professional role in HR, I love and find inspiration in writing and watercolour painting.
Please tell us about your book, ‘Celebration of Life Ideas.’
My book is a heartfelt tribute to my later brother Peter. In the wake of his unexpected passing, I was struck by how many people were focused on how he died. I felt compelled to shift the focus towards celebrating his life, honouring his passions, and having an opportunity to share our memories of him.
Please share your journey with our readers.
My journey began with wanting to honour my brother’s memory in a meaningful way. At the time, there weren’t any resources for ‘Celebration of Life Ideas.‘ His love of BBQing became a springboard into an event that was filled with his favourite foods, videos and pictures, and the opportunity for shared stories.
What are the strategies that helped you become successful in your journey?
A simple yet effective strategy that guided me through my journey is tackling the tasks I least want to do first. It sets your day up for success.
