Independence Day
This upcoming Independence Day holiday weekend, I will be enjoying my freedom, that has been earned by myself, and others in the past, present, and into the future. I am once again excited to go camping and buggy riding in the trails of Ocala Forest. More important than the adventure itself, is spending time with family and friends. This makes it more memorable and precious.
I have been doing lots of things this past year, that have kept me really busy, but have not really fed my soul or my family. I have been trying to find a new place for myself in the workplace. It has been less than fun, and now I am fully committed to enjoying my independence by helping others as I love to do. Having independence means doing what you enjoy, right?
People here in America have the freedom to make certain choices about things that are important to them. Passing along your values to the next generation, and the next for that matter, are more important now than ever. We have lost contact with our "villages", and the time spent with other generations. The wisdom that comes from this exposure needs to be kept alive.
I am very passionate about being a part of this important mission, and it is something I believe every family should participate in. These times in history will be long forgotten if we don't take the time now to preserve them.
I would love to interview you or a loved one and help you continue your legacy. I could also show you how to do it yourself, if you prefer. It doesn't matter how you do it, as long as it gets done. Most of us don't take the time to actually do it. Don't let the wisdom of a loved one slip away. Preserve your family's stories, in a book, audio recordings, and/or video.
Take the time to celebrate the love of freedom we have this weekend and plan to share this sentiment with your family. I can help you preserve your values and turn them into family heirlooms, that will be treasured forever. Contact me: legacy.storybooks@gmail.com for more info. New technology makes this possible in person, over the phone, or through the internet. What great things to celebrate!
