History is Worth Repeating

by

I met with an amazing gentleman recently.  This man, in his eighties, recalled walking to school with a rifle in hopes of catching a rabbit for dinner.  On his luckiest of days, he would see a skunk.  Skunk pelts could be sold for $5, which was a lot of money in those days.  He finished his story this way: “No one told us we were poor.  It never affected us because we didn’t know.  We made the best of it, and we have been so blessed.”  What a valuable perspective!  It was so refreshing to hear … [Read more...] about History is Worth Repeating

How do you spend your time?

by

Where I spend my time and who I spend it with are so important to me. Before I got cancer I would have said the same thing, but for different reasons. Years ago, circumstances were different and my time was spent differently. My children were younger, my business was young and developing, and there were so many amazing families that needed to design their legacy that I had yet to meet. Now, I have survived cancer and am in remission. There are still demands on my schedule, but they are … [Read more...] about How do you spend your time?
