#2: Guardians of Our Legacy - The Importance of Reaching Backwards and Forwards
04/06/23 • 29 min
We are a continuum. Just as we reach back to our ancestors for our fundamental values, so we, as guardians of that legacy, must reach ahead to our children and their children. And we do so with a sense of sacredness in that reaching.
— Paul Tsongas
In this episode, Melissa discusses the importance and reasons for reaching back to our past and reaching forward to our future generations and how the power of story and lessons learned bridges the generations.
This episode is helpful for those looking for inspiration with writing their personal and family stories.
This group is for people who are in the process of writing their own personal stories to preserve their past for their future. It’s a place to come for story writing inspiration, weekly writing-related events and memes, and continued support from me and the other members.
