What’s your story? Have you shared it with those you hold dear? As life speeds by, I’m realizing it’s a gift to share the stories about my life with my family before it’s too late. I’d like to challenge you to write down your story and send a copy of it to the ones you love.

TELL YOUR STORY

All good men and women must take responsibility to create legacies that will take the next generation to a level we could only imagine.

That is your legacy on this Earth when you leave this Earth: how many hearts you touched. —Patti Davis The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

—William James Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones.

A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.

—Shannon L. Alder

Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.

—Brandon Lee

No legacy is so rich as honesty.

—Jim Rohn

Your story is the greatest legacy that you will leave to your friends. It’s the longest-lasting legacy you will leave to your heirs.

—Steve Saint

You make your mark by being true to who you are and letting that be your staple.

—Kat Graham

The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.

—Benjamin Disraeli

If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

—Benjamin Franklin

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”

LOVE

CELEBRATE TOGETHER

Marriage is an incredible journey filled with many ups and downs. While it’s often easy to become overwhelmed by the hardships your relationship has endured, research shows that spending time celebrating your relationship leads to higher marital satisfaction, especially when you encounter difficult situations. Need help celebrating your love? Try some of these ideas:

Spend meaningful time together:

• Put on “your song” and dance in the living room.

• Give each other massages.

• Gaze into each others’ eyes for 2 minutes…5 minutes…and notice what happens.

• Hold hands.

• Visit the place you met.

• Visit where you were married.

• Change up the bedroom routine.

• Have a picnic at the park.

• Get takeout and have a picnic at home by candlelight.

• Renew your vows (even in the privacy of your own home).

• Take a shower or bath together.

• Look at each other’s childhood photos or yearbooks and share stories about the past.

• Meet at a bar or restaurant as if it’s your first date.

• Unplug for the night – no screen time allowed.

• Attend church together.

Go on adventures:

• Plan and go on your dream vacation.

• Go on a hike and talk about your dreams for the future.

• Take a road trip to your favorite place.

• Go wine tasting, beer tasting or on a food tour.

18

THE GRAND SEASON • MAY 2022

• Book a hotel in your own town, for a night away.

• Go camping together.

Share hobbies and activities:

• Cook with each other.

• Ask questions and show interest in each others favorite hobby.

• Take a walk, jog or run together.

• Meditate together.

• Read a book together and discuss the characters or what you learned.

• Take a class together (painting, beermaking, photographer, coding—an interest you can share) • Garden together.

Do something for your partner

• Write your spouse a love letter.

• Plant their favorite flower and enjoy the blooms throughout the year.

• Make their favorite meal.

• Make them a playlist of songs that remind you of them.

• Clean out their car.

• Bring them coffee and/or breakfast in bed.

• Leave a message in the steam on the mirror while they are showering.

Here’s a recipe for a quickie bird feeder or bath: Flip over a nicesize flower pot, and place the pot’s tray on the top. Fill with seed or water.

A great idea for mini ice packs: Freeze ketchup packets you get from takeout food. They are great for icing small bumps or bug bites.

WE HAVE ANSWERS!

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS Original “West Side Story” Oscar winner Rita Moreno recently voiced she felt Natalie Wood should not have been cast as Maria, adding, “I hate that, again, Maria isn’t being represented by a Puerto Rican actress.” Natalie Wood was cast for four big reasons: 1) She was a huge star, and they raised a lot of money on her name; 2) Maria was very similar to Wood’s role in “Rebel Without a Cause,” opposite James Dean; 3) She was a smash opposite Warren Beatty in “Splendor in the Grass”; and 4) The original film made six times its cost (while the 2021 version is still $25 million short of its cost).

In the new film version, Moreno plays Valentina, the widow of an older Jewish man who runs the candy store Tony lives under, and the Jets, who’ve demonstrated their hatred for Puerto Ricans, hang out in her store. We’d say that’s more of a liberty than a white girl playing Maria!

FLASHBACK ANSWERS From pg. 14

1. Just one: “Runaway Boys,” in 1980... in Finland! The song, from their debut album, also did well in Belgium and the U.K., but not the U.S. 2. The R&B group Champaign, in 1981, off their debut album. The song charted around the world and reached No. 1 in the U.S. on the Adult Contemporary chart.

3. “The baddest man in the whole damn town” was from the south side of Chicago. Songwriter Jim Croce wrote the song about a soldier he met in the Army who went AWOL but was arrested when he came back to pick up his paycheck.

4. Bobby Darin, in 1958.

5. “I Can’t Tell You Why,” by the Eagles in 1980. The rock ballad went to the Top 10 on multiple charts and it was their first single to feature bass player Timothy B. Schmit on lead vocals.

YOU

LEGACY BUILDING

Leaving behind a legacy means making an impact that will last long after you die. It could be financial, with something you create, or through the people you touch while you’re alive. The good news is, it’s never too late to start working on building a legacy that will outlive you.

You may be think, “I don’t want to leave a legacy.”

There’s nothing wrong with that. But before you dismiss it altogether, look at the various ways you can leave a legacy. You may find that your focus is limited to your own children and grandchildren, or you may prefer to have a touching funeral that gives everyone a chance to say goodbye. Here are some ways to leave a lasting legacy:

Evaluate your life

When it comes down to it, leaving a legacy meaning is simply knowing that you’ve left your mark on the world. The best thing to do is stop where you are now and evaluate. If you died today, what would people say about you?

Are you happy with being known for that?

If you don’t like what you find, you can start asking how to leave a legacy that would make you happy.

Pass along your values

For many, the leaving a legacy definition applies specifically to the next generation. If you have children and grandchildren, take a look at the example you’re setting for them.

Have you imparted the values you hold dear to you, both through example and by teaching them?

Practice generosity

When you’re looking at legacy examples, you’ll probably see a common theme. Generous people tend to touch more lives and, as a result, leave a stronger legacy. Generosity is fairly simple. You put others first. You do things to help those in need. It can be as simple as helping out a friend who has fallen on hard times, or as large-scale as pitching in to help after a local disaster.

Create a plan to transition your wealth

There’s also the sensitive subject of your financial legacy. What assets will you leave behind for your survivors? If you aren’t swimming in money, that’s okay. But as you spend in retirement, think a little about how much money you want to leave when you die and who you want to be responsible for what you leave behind. You can never be too prepared.

MAY 2022 • THE GRAND SEASON

31

Technically, summer doesn’t start until June 21st. But many people consider Memorial Day to be the unofficial start of the season.

REMEMBER

MEMORIAL DAY

This year, we celebrate the holiday on May 30th. Many families will heat up the grill, head to the beach or take in a big blockbuster movie. But Memorial Day has the word “memorial” in it for a reason.

The holiday got started on May 30, 1868, when Union General John A. Logan declared the day an occasion to decorate the graves of Civil War soldiers. Twenty years later, the name was changed to Memorial Day. On May 11, 1950, Congress passed a resolution requesting that the President issue a proclamation calling on Americans to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people of the United States might unite in prayer. President Richard M. Nixon declared Memorial Day a federal holiday in 1971. Memorial Day is now observed on the last Monday of May. It is an occasion to honor the men and women who died in all wars.

Remembering Those Who Served.

It is customary to mark Memorial Day by visiting graveyards and war monuments. One of the biggest Memorial Day traditions is for the President or Vice President to give a speech and lay a wreath on soldiers’ graves in the largest national cemetery, Arlington National Cemetery, in Virginia.

We are thankful for your sacrifice!

PAWS CORNER

Q. I recently read about a predatory lender that is targeting people buying dogs at some pet stores.

These loans have insane interest rates as high as 130% to 189%! Please warn your readers to avoid taking out highinterest loans to buy a new pet.

A: A recent CBS News report warned about a lending business called EasyPay Finance that charges huge interest rates.

Predatory loans and pet stores that source from puppy mills are a nasty storm of awfulness. Often, puppy mill dogs arrive at the store in poor condition, and new owners who’ve just paid thousands of dollars to buy a dog now have to shell out thousands more for medical care.

The message here is clear: Don’t take out a high-interest loan to buy a pet. Do business only with reputable breeders—you should be able to visit the breeder, see the conditions your prospective pet lives in and meet the puppies and mother. Or, you can just save yourself a lot of money by adopting your pet from a shelter instead!

PREPARE

DON’T PROCRASTINATE

When you think of estate planning, you probably immediately go straight to getting a will drawn up.

While that’s certainly an important part of the process, it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Listed below are some estate planning basics, so that you can create a checklist which will help you prepare for the future.

Create an Inventory

Do an inventory of everything you own. This inventory can be divided into two major categories: Tangible assets and Intangible assets.

Establish Your Legal Directives

This is a very important part of your estate planning checklist. You’ll need

paperwork in place to “direct” your survivors on how your estate should be handled. These are called legal directives and they include: • Will – Your estate planning should include will planning and drafting.

• Trust – This gives someone else the right to administer your account in the event of your death.

• Medical care directive a/k/a Living Will – this documents your wishes if you ever are in a position where someone needs to make a decision about your care, such as if you’re on life support.

Stop By And Experience Beautiful Views • Great Service • Country Club Casual Dining

• Power of attorney – If you should become unable to manage your finances, this appoints someone you trust to take over.

Review Your Beneficiaries

An important part of any estate planning services should be to take a close look at who is inheriting your funds after you die. This includes life insurance policies and retirement accounts. Over the years, it can be easy to lose track of an old account that might have a parent or exspouse listed as your beneficiary.
