- Who are Your Chosen People?

When you consider your community, who features in your community of people who help you soar and who keep you grounded? Who are part of your Legacy?

A quote I love from Modern Family, states "The dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists, well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground."

Since I created Living Legacy, I have been moved by the love and support from friends and family, and also from people I never met but with whom we share an affinity in our work and mission to help others get their plans in place and build and live their legacy.

We don't need the people in our life to be exactly like us, or to always agree, but we do need those who cheer us, elevate us, and support us. These are the ones to cherish.

How many people do we give our energy to spend time with those who drain us? Relationships evolve and some we outgrow, yet sometimes for nostalgia we still feel a sense of obligation to keep the contact alive.

Over recent months, since my return to living in Dublin, I have enjoyed reconnecting with old friends, returning to communities I once participated, and also recognising what and who enriches my life.

With this in mind, I invite you to consider who shares your values and with whom you belong.

Because when it comes to times of need, and considering who will be there for you in tough times, who do you want to represent you in life, in business, and in your legal and medical decisions?

Who do you choose?

Not just for the important decisions, but in actually sharing your life with. 

When it comes to advanced planning, quite often people get stuck trying to figure out what to leave to whom. Yet in reality, those who love us only want what is best for us, not for them, but appreciate your guidance to help them learn your way.

So whether. you want to consider who you choose or considering getting your plans in place, start by reflecting on who you share a common unity with. And take it from there. 

Jennifer McConnell (Founder of Living Legacy)

Our 100 Day Campaign "Death.Life.Legacy" has concluded. 100 Days of postings with tips and guidance to getting your advancedplans, successionplans and legacybuilding considerations clear.

Our invite to you is to take the 100 Days to come, develop your plans, take action, and realise what you can achieve. Each day is 1% towards completion, so identify one or several things that you want to complete, or at least get underway.

From June 24th 100 Days brings you to October 1st as the last day. And from there you have another 90 days to the end of the year.

What would you like to achieve in 2024? What have you started but yet to conclude? What are you yet to begin?

Each birthday (Chapter 49 began this week for me) I used to decide on my new year 5's - 5 new things to try, 5 things to achieve, and 5 places to visit. For this year I know I have a few projects yet to complete and some new things for Living Legacy that I definitely want to try. 

One theme for this new year is to embrace creativity and really explore areas into which I have longed intended to delve. So watch this space!

What will your 5's be? We would love to learn your ambitions for the 100 days to come or even for the remainder of 2024 so let us know at https://www.livinglegacy.ie/contact?cid=ab5331d9-4aa9-4695-8bb8-e921e27a1d5f

Do you know how many Mondays you have left to live? Have you got your house in order (literally!), do you know your digital footprint? Have you captured your legacy to date?

These questions will be answered by our fantastic selection of guests in our new programme 'Living Legacy Conversations', in our first Summer Sunday Sessions, starting this Sunday 23rd June from 7pm British Standard Time (BST) / 2pm EST / 11am PST

Our first guest is Jodi Wellman of @Fourthousandmondays and author of 'You Only Die Once' which was released last month. Find out how many Mondays you have left to live and what you can do to live your best life. We know you will LOVE hearing all she has to impart on living our best lives. Check out her TedX Talk How Death Can Bring You Back to Life and hear more from Jodi in our first Summer Sunday Sessions this weekend.

Each week thereafter we have a great line up of experts to share their tips on sorting your digital footprint, decluttering your home, to garnering tips on financial management, legal aspects of advanced planning, right through to as many aspects death, legacy, and a fulfilling life in between.

At Living Legacy our mission is to get everyone organised with the end in mind so you can truly begin to live. We are looking forward to connecting you to even more tips and suggestions in helping you get started.
