Writing a Legacy Letter

What is your legacy?  Leaving a legacy goes well beyond simply leaving money to your children. Money fades quickly, but what really matters is the values, memories, skills, and habits that we pass down - the way that we have shaped the people who come after us.  What will your family remember about you? Were your values lived and communicated?  Did your family feel love and approval?  Last week many of you participated in the Legacy Letter Workshop with our guest speaker, Blake Brewer.  During our session together Blake shared his story of a letter that deeply impacted his life and walked us through practical steps to write our own letter.

A legacy letter explicitly communicates how you feel and what you value.  Sometimes we assume that our family knows how we feel, but a letter makes it clear, removing all doubt. And while we most often think about a legacy letter for when we are gone, writing it now can help us all focus on the things that matter and live our lives now to more intentionally leave the legacy we want.
