August is 'What Will Be Your Legacy Month,' a time to honor the legacy of your family's past while reflecting on the seeds you want to plant for your family's future. Although many people associate the word legacy with money passed down to the next generation, each family has a unique legacy.
Some family legacies include: volunteerism within your community, caring for those in need, patriotism, and religious or spiritual beliefs. During the rest of August, spend some time reflecting on the values and traditions you cherish from your families past and consider what values and traditions you want to pass down to your children and grandchildren.
Celebrate your family's legacy this month and every month through your words and actions. Children mirror what their parents do. Make your legacy one of love, caring, sharing and helping others.
