A notebook with half blank and half lined pages to allow those with memory loss or dementia to write, doodle and dream.

None of us are one-dimensional, no matter what stage of our lives we are at.

My Aunty Betty, with advanced dementia and memory loss, jotted her thoughts in a little notebook. This notebook has brought me and my family great comfort and it has been so lovely to be able to read her thoughts and musings. We had no idea she still experienced such highs and lows; that her sense of humour was still sharp as a tack; that she sometimes felt lonely and often felt content, happy or excited.

We would have loved to be able to know this sooner, too.

The purpose of the My Place to Write, Doodle and Dream Notebook is to give our loved ones somewhere to write and draw whenever they feel like it. It's not meant to be a chore or to be 'homework'.

Then, if they or you want to, there is information on the last page that will show you where you can send it to me, so that I can bring all the excerpts together to create a collection in a further book. The excerpts can be totally anonymous, but it is my hope that by reading all the various pieces by different people, we can show the world that there are more ups and downs of emotion, thought and humour in our loved ones than we currently give them credit for.

I will be donating 80% of the Amazon royalties from both books to Dementia UK.


I hope they enjoy having somewhere to express themselves and also that it brings you joy and comfort too,
Jo.
