About the Author
Hello! Welcome to this exciting journey of sharing your wisdom and capturing family stories for your children's children and those who will benefit from your efforts. My name is Judy Helm Wright - Author/Personal Historian/IntuitiveWiseWoman.
I often share about the honor of being named "Auntie Artichoke - a wise woman who loves unconditionally" by Indigenous tribes I worked with in Hawaii and Montana.
As a founding member of the Association of Personal Historians and the Montana Story Keepers, I was part of a valuable gathering of people committed to the importance of storytelling.
I have taught memoir writing for twenty-five years in many communities. What I knew then about how memory works and what research and life experiences have taught me now is vastly different. As we explore this exciting calling, you too will benefit from this research and knowledge.
The journey to find and share your stories will be some of the most important work you will do. Stories create connection, and human connection enriches your life.
You will be guided, not just by me as a Personal Historian, but by your ancestors and those who have influenced your life in meaningful ways. Think of the author of "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom - and how that small book has impacted not only family and friends but the entire world.
Know that your story will be treasured and loved by those who read, view, and hear your wisdom.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
