Leaving a L.E.G.A.C.Y. - Leaving Every Generation A Chronicle Of You

Leaving a L.E.G.A.C.Y.

Leaving Every Generation A Chronicle Of You


Once I turned 50, there seemed to be an automatic "shift" in my thinking.  Was it due to the unexpected pains in various parts of my body that I periodically awakened to?  Maybe it was due to the "Indian Summers" I began to have in the middle of the Fall?  Alas, it may have been to people much younger than me beginning to ask my age and then responding "You look good for your age!"  I used to ask that same question to others and give them that same response, now it's MY TURN!

During this shift I began to ask more questions about the purpose and significance of MY life.  I've heard it said, "People are not as afraid of dying, as they are of not having anyone remember that they were ever born." Deep down inside of ALL of us, we want to "make our mark" in this life.

My Dad has made his mark with his management of Hamilton Manor, providing for his family and serving the Detroit, MI community for decades.  My great uncle  has left his mark in being the first African American car dealership owner in Detroit,MI.  My grandmother purchased property in Drakes Branch, VA which is maintained primarily by my Uncle David, who wants to keep the property available for building, and so that no family member will ever have to be homeless.  My mentor and friend Minister Mary Edwards has a desire to help others chronicle their stories, so that the positive impact of their lives can be shared from generation to generation.  It is my desire that YOU will be inspired to help ME, help HER to help THEM.

Take a moment today and consider, what legacy YOU would like to leave?  Who is it that YOU know who wants to leave a chronicle of their lives whether in a book or memoir?  What person, group or organization would like to hear more about how to turn some of their greatest struggles into ministries that will impact generations to come? Who is that aspiring writer who needs a mentor/coach to help them share their story?
