Leave a Legacy

As the New Year begins many thoughts about the past and future seem to collide in our minds.   As we grow older, we have to decide how and what we might leave behind that would be meaningful for those who follow us.

I remember a friend’s mother who left a legacy of stuff she had never sorted.   After storing it for several years, my friend finally took it on.  We searched through cottage cheese cartons, foil pie pans, boxes of material, and tried to make some sense of the things that were valuable.  This month I want to share resources that might help you leave behind a meaningful legacy for your descendants.

Today, I offer a link to Real to Reel, a good resource for leaving your stories for your children and their children.  Check the link here:

I will continue with other similar resources and a few resources for what you do with all the “stuff” as well.
