 What will your legacy be? | A Message from the OfficeSomeone in our company recently lost a beloved family member. In our line of work, we are no strangers to the loss of loved ones, or valued clients. It’s part and parcel with caring for our |
elders, the circle of life. These experiences often prompt us to reflect on our own lives. In our reflecting, we have been considering “legacy”.
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, legacy is a) “something that is a result of events in the past” or b) “a legacy is also money or property left to a person by someone who has died”. These definitions are practical, but fall far short of the weight that the term carries. Legacy is the mark you leave on the world, on the hearts of those who know you, the generations that follow you and what they do in the world.

Now, as Boomers move into later workforce and retirement years, what better time to think about their legacy and make an impact in other’s lives. Take a moment ...what do you want your legacy to be?
