Or that<\/p>\n

\"DSC_8494\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or you refuse to do this….\"074\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Someone’s got to hold the pocketbooks.<\/p>\n

What’s your signature dish?\"DSC_3284\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Glasses?\"037\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Look?\"DSC_1642<\/a>Or phrase…just sayin.<\/p>\n

What are the things you let people see and the things you keep to yourself.<\/p>\n

Your dark moments that could vanish if only…<\/p>\n

The lives you touch\"DSC_5980<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s on your list? Love?\u00a0 Travel? \"Lime<\/a><\/p>\n

All these bits add up to your story even if you think you don’t have one, you do. You just have to add up all the isms and scraps and tidbits and ah ha moments and there it is. You are no accident you are a deliberate life with a story worth telling and a legacy like no other.<\/p>\n

Slowly very slowly a trust is beginning to grow. People are sharing their stories. Some of their own, some of the one’s they love. They are recognizing legacy in the ordinary and sharing in this little community. The gift of hearing or reading someone’s story is worth more than anything money can buy; to be granted permission to share it and preserve it in the space of time is humbling. There are wonderful stories coming soon to this tiny place on the Internet. For this, and so much more, I am grateful and jazzed and encouraged. I believe I’ll make that my new word…encouraged.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
