Things worth remembering, are about "me", yet they belongs to more than just "me". Meeting, lingering, accompanying, Or perhaps, gazing from afar as a bystander. Every moment of mindfulness is an intersection between us. They exist in their own worlds, yet leave traces within our time. The birth of Trace Binder is born from a desire to better preserve those fragments. It can be a manager of memories, or a collection of life’s treasures. It will walk with you, picking up the little pebbles along the journey.
