Section 4: Safeguard Your Legacy and Elevating Others
Are there any family traditions you do or would like to start?
Family traditions are memories in motion. They tell the next generation what matters most: connection, love, and shared values. Whether it’s a Sunday dinner with handwritten prayers, a seasonal giving project, or a quiet story passed down each year, traditions help form the rhythm of remembrance.
Consider one tradition you’ve cherished, or one you feel called to begin. What would you love your family to remember and cherish for years to come?
Let’s put down our phones and start making memories together.
Legacy Action Step: Choose one simple, meaningful tradition to initiate this year.
Write a short personal letter of blessing or encouragement for your loved ones to be read later.
Words carry weight. Sometimes even more when spoken in the quiet of absence. Take time to write a letter of blessing, encouragement, or affirmation to your loved ones. Remind them of their worth, their strengths, and your belief in their future. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Your voice, your values, your love… preserved in ink for someone’s most vulnerable moment.
Include this letter in your “What If” folder or tuck it alongside key documents. Let it serve as a blessing that continues to breathe.
