How many times have we remembered only a fragment of a story told years ago by a grandparent or parent and wished it had been written down? The stories of the dreams, struggles and achievements of our families are rich pieces of history. Recollections is a service which helps record and write personal and family histories. The final story is bound into a hand-made book and illustrated with scanned-in photos making a beautiful and important gift to future generations. An ordinary life is the journey of a hero and everyone has a story to tell. Let us help you tell yours.

Peek of the Past preserves family histories and personal biographies. Its purpose is to capture cherished memories of an individual's life thus providing a family legacy for future generations via video taped interviews.
Sherry has the unique ability to create a safe and comfortable environment in which the subject feels free to open up and share their life stories. Peek of the Past's purpose is twofold: the recording and preserving of family stories, a priceless gift, as well as promoting a feeling of satisfaction and
value through reflection of the individual's life. The family benefits by preserving their personal history while the interviewee feels a renewed sense of accomplishment of a life well lived.
Sherry learned the skill of diplomacy and the art of tactfulness at an early age from her family being with American Embassies in foreign countries. She spent seven of her growing up years abroad. Always being in the pubic arena professionally, Sherry owned a fitness center that specialized in seniors followed by working in a retirement community. Sherry relates well with people of all ages and backgrounds but has the utmost respect and admiration for seniors and the lives they have lived. Her own father is 90 years old and their greatest pleasure in spending time together is recapturing the past through stories and songs. Neither of them ever get tired of what they consider to be the jewels of life, that being Life Stories.

Services.
We provide a relaxed, fulfilling service that allows you to enjoy the experience while leaving the work to us. We interview our subjects or their loved ones in a convenient and comfortable setting in which they can share and appreciate their stories. Our experienced storytellers then weave these cherished memories into engaging and entertaining products that can be enjoyed by family and friends for years to come. Each product is tailor-made to suit each client’s wishes—some tell the story of your life, while others provide a snapshot of a memorable time or share aspects of your life. How you use our service is up to you—you can create a keepsake to preserve your own legacy, or document the stories of a loved one, friend, or colleague. Any of these options can make for gifts that will be treasured forever.
We are able to work with a variety of clientele (businesses, individuals, families and care centers) in various locales.

My proofreading expertise grew out of work I did for the Library of Congress and the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, DC.
Chassie West, mystery author, acknowledged my ability in two recent books: Killer Chameleon: '...the indomitable Ches Applewhite, proofreader extraordinaire, you've kept me going through good times and bad.' Killer Riches: 'Thanks as well to Mary Ches Applewhite, whose keen eye and red pencil kept me out of trouble a number of times...'

I specialize in working with small business owners but personal historians are my favorite "niche." I am the personal historian for my own family so the work that you do is near and dear to my heart. I also understand what it is like to start a business you love and not know how to do marketing and sales to attract clients. Because my background is in psychotherapy, I am very good at working with people who dread or resist doing marketing and sales. I help make things easier by teaching very practical skills and following through with personalized coaching and consulting to help you use these skills out in the real world.
|
- Business Skills Training: I teach personal historians the essential skills they need to be successful. I help people plan their business, set and reach goals, design good marketing strategies, connect with more potential clients and close more sales.
- Business Consulting/Coaching: Besides teaching business skills, I also help personal historians use these skills out in the real world to find clients. Working with me is personalized to you and your business. Think. Mentor, Coach, Ally.
- Classes, Workshops and Teleclasses: I offer a wide range of training opportunities for “personal historians only.” This includes designing personalized teleclasses for APH regions.
