This is a picture of me and my daughter, our eldest child, who was raised on two continents and in both hemispheres.

This young woman is real to the core, she is integrity through and through and is a leader. I could not be more proud of and grateful for her.

Both of our children, daughter and son, live their lives according to rich principles and core values that are sustainable and that stand up to scrutiny.

Parenting is challenging enough … raising leaders is a whole next level.

I know that our children have everything invested in them for living well and for taking command of their lives, doing what they feel led to pursue.

As they were raised (and parenting simply evolves, it never ends) … I always knew that every occasion, every situation, every bump in the road was a teachable moment. Life has paid us back handsomely. Not a moment was wasted to learn from.

I see this impact as a legacy, as valuable and as meaningful as anything … or, indeed, much more so.

And now I ask you …

Have you ever thought about this?

What do you want your influence to be? What do you want to leave behind when you’re gone?

Jewellery… a car… money… your favourite golf clubs…

What about a list of people whose lives you changed?

Wouldn’t THAT be more meaningful?

Right now you have the opportunity to create a lasting impact on the lives of others, one that would even outlive you!

You have something that can genuinely help people.

It would be a disservice not to share it.

Mindfully,

♥️
