What will your legacy be?

A Message from the Office

Someone 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.

August is Legacy Month and Boomers Make a Difference Month. Boomers are the generation of baby boomers, referring to babies born between 1946-1964. 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?

Cultural Tidbit: Winston Churchill is renowned as the Prime Minister who lead Great Britian through WWII. But as with all famous historical figures, there are some little known facts that can prove just as interesting. We have learned of his life in past editions, so lets explore his less traveled paths. Did you know Winston Churchill...

...was half American. His mother was Jennie Jerome, daughter of a wealthy NY financier. He wasn’t a good student. He flunked the exam to enter Royal Military College at Sandhurst. He passed on the 3rd try, after getting help from a military tutor. He traveled world over while in the military - Cuba, India, Sudan, South Africa. He even escaped a prison camp in South Africa, earning instant fame. Churchill won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. Churchill was accident-prone all his life. He was a painter, creating some 500 works and showing 50 at Royal Academy during his life. His other hobbies included landscaping and bricklaying.
