The Journey is Yours to Take - Choose to Move Through Frazzled to Fabulous: The Blessings of a Legacy
“The need to leave a legacy is our spiritual need to have a sense of meaning, purpose, personal congruence, and contribution.” – Stephen R. Covey
Will You Leave A Legacy? “The Journey is Yours to Take, speaks of taking action and making a difference. With vulnerability and heart-felt authenticity in the lives of its five amazing contributors, readers discover how life's experiences provide the wisdom needed to leave a legacy— by courageously choosing to take action.
Anthologist, Celeste Ducharme championed them along the way, showing her leadership and desire to leave a legacy in her own chapter, “The Blessings of a Legacy,” where she shares a lifetime of struggles, strategies, and becoming a fearless soul who can now choose to move through frazzled to live a life she considers fabulous.
The Foreword, by Suzanne Dudley Schon, Life and Leadership Coach speaks of the authors, “who each in their own right, are successful professional women who have had their own personal journeys and crafted unique solutions to despair, loss, and pain. The practices offered are never presented as a one-and-done magic pill. The intent remains modestly focused on where and how a person can choose to take action, even in small, pragmatic ways. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on commitment and consistent action as integral to progress.
Ducharme feels blessed in her “legacy,” aware of a sobering statistic about the dissipation of family wealth, 90 percent of which is lost by the third generation. This loss has little to do with taxes, economies, or cultures—rather, the failure within families to transfer core values and leadership to succeeding generations. Celeste’s gift of legacy is passionately passed to her own children; an inheritance she has lived and chooses to model to her family, friends, and people who make up her world. Her goal? To inspire others to put family and faith first; to increase the chance her family will thrive; and to share the joy of hard work, philanthropy, family unity, and the quality of achievement that binds ties to the kingdom of God.
Look for beautiful imagery in Celeste, her grandmother, mother, and daughter showing the place in life for gray hair, wisdom, relationships, and involvement in family, community. You will be touched by Celeste’s underlying message that lives can be transformed to change the destiny, the legacy of your family.
This book is a must-read for every family’s library!
