How To Start A Timeless Family Heirloom With A Blank Book

April 23, 2018

This is something I started for my own family around last year, which I think more people should do.

Get a blank book and have each family member over 50 write down the life advice they'd want their descendants in 500 years to know. Keep adding to it and passing it down.

You now have a family heirloom that will only get more useful as time goes on.

Asking for advice that will be useful so far into the future ensures that it will be timeless, and gives people a chance to pass on their wisdom and be remembered long after they would otherwise be forgotten.

You can fill it with all sorts of stuff, from stories to family recipes to general life tips!
