Celebrating and Reflecting on 25 Incredible Years!

Life’s milestones—birthdays, anniversaries, career achievements—are not just markers of time; they reflect a culmination of effort, perseverance, and transformation.

As Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Whether tangible, like launching a business or completing a marathon, or intangible, like overcoming adversity, milestones shape who we have become. They remind us how far our journey has taken us and help us to clarify where we want to go.

Honored to to be recognized for our groundbreaking process in preserving stories and legacies.

This year, Memoirs Productions celebrates its 25th year anniversary of service to families and family businesses. When I registered the company name on February 19, 2000, I had no idea how this venture would evolve. We evolved from in-person production recording to remote (online) interviews, VHS tapes to cloud storage, and traditional documentaries to online courses. Yet our mission remains the same: preserving legacies in meaningful ways for families and future generations to cherish. 

This principle applies beyond business. This month also marks my fifth wedding anniversary with Gary. We are taking time to pause, reflect, and set intentions—because milestones deserve more than a dinner out. They deserve recognition and purposeful planning. Taking time to reflect on our journey together strengthens our bond and guides our future.

Thrilled to be Executive Producer of Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s—a film that captures the legacy, glamour, and magic of the iconic institution.

I invite you now to reflect on a milestone in your life. Think of a moment—personal or professional—when you achieved something significant. What did that experience teach you? How has it shaped who you are today? And most importantly, where do you want it to lead you next? Reflection is a powerful tool—embrace it, and you might uncover insights that shape your next great chapter.

Congratulations to my team for the past 25 years of success of Memoirs Productions! We are looking forward to the exciting future that lies ahead. Stay tuned!
