However, if you are interested in learning about the experiences of your family finding out who is related to whom isn't very helpful. While we cannot go back in time to capture memories of those who have departed, we can capture the memories of those who remember them. This is what makes BabbleSt

Is a Babble a Verbal Selfie?

Is a Babble a Verbal Selfie?

All around me, I see people taking pictures of themselves, looking down at their phone with a smile, I watch the whir of their thumbs and at last the people look up until the cycle is repeated. By feeding their social media community with visual representations of their experiences, they are trying to combat the Fear of Missing Out by encouraging the fear of others to experience Fear of Missing Out. The irony is the person taking and sharing the selfie is truly the one mis

That Story I Knew I Would Forget

That Story I Knew I Would Forget

Before I had BabbleStash, I struggled to remember that story. That story that made me laugh. That story that made me think. That story that made me question. That story that made me cry. That story that made me angry. Now with BabbleStash, I can re-record the story shortly after I hear it so I don't forget it. I can then record what my thoughts were at the time as I heard the story. The important thing is before when I heard a story that I wanted to remember, I knew I would

How Beauty Touched My Heart

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." Helen Keller To reach the heart, there needs to be vulnerability. Many people have mental armor that prevents people from getting too close. Really the only way to bypass the mental armor is through meaningful and authenticate communication. While Helen Keller could not hear or see, she was able to communicate with sign-language and braille. These were the to

Two Paths Diverged So I Made a Third

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Ralph Waldo Emerson I used to be afraid to travel alone. I was afraid of getting lost, I was afraid of strangers coming up to me, and mostly, I was afraid of the unknown. I found this fear rendered me impotent and I was trapped traveling with friends who always knew the way. BabbleStash changed this for me. I might seem silly; but the app got me to speak my thoughts, feelings and fears out

Babbling and The Waiting Place

Babbling and The Waiting Place

The Waiting Place as described by Dr. Seuss is: The Waiting Place... ...for people just waiting. Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or the waiting around for a Yes or No or waiting for their hair to grow. Everyone is just waiting. Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for the wind to fly a kite or waiting around for Friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their

It's Never Too Late Until It's Too Late

It's Never Too Late Until It's Too Late

I can always do this tomorrow. That is the key underlying thought of procrastinators everywhere. They put off to tomorrow what they should prioritize and do today. Some things can wait though. Not everything has to happen now and today. But just because it doesn't have to be done today; doesn't mean there shouldn't be a sense of urgency to get it done. Over the past summer I went to a few funerals where I heard people stand up and say that they wished they learned more ab
