Loved this piece so much...Ruth💜 It brought back the memories of my attending the Financial Life Planning Course conducted by Money Quotient in Feb 2011. In most of our sessions we were paired in diads. Of course on rotation. What stood out for me was what you just wrote... 'What is the Legacy that you want to leave in this world?' This came up in our session and I mentioned to my fellow participant...that my eulogy would read as... ' Here is someone who touched many people's lives positively'. And when I look back after reading the story of your beautiful friend Lisa, that line remains the same. Being purposeful and meaningful is so important and soul satisfying for all of us...Isn't it?
What a beautiful comment Partha, Lisa certainly touched the lives in a beautiful and kind way and no-nonsense kind of way. What more can any of us ask for? And I am sure the same will be true for you too.
Thanks for your response Amanda, it’s always a good thing to remember when we get caught up in the hub dub of daily life isn’t it. Hope you are well :-0
Really touching post. The legacy left is what matters, who and how you will be remembered. Will what we value be transparent when we are not around. Thank you for sharing.
So true Helena. How we will be remembered is such an interesting thought to dive into…I think the word legacy can feel loaded with money connotations. For me it may be that but as importantly it’s the essence of the person that matters.
