FROM THE EDITOR

Happy Mother’s Day! May provides us with many opportunities to celebrate the achievements of our extended family, celebrate our mothers, and thank those patriots who served our country honorably.

As I was writing this month’s content, I was touched by this quote from Steve Saint, “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.”

Mother’s Day Special

What is 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 children and their friends, 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.

You may be surprised by their response.

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season and our local advertisers! I hope your May is filled with many memories as you celebrate the ones you love.

INSPIRE

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.

Jim Rohn

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

Benjamin Franklin

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

That is your legacy on this Earth when you leave this Earth: how many hearts you touched.

Patti Davis

No legacy is so rich as honesty.

William Shakespeare

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

Brandon Lee

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

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

Benjamin Disraeli

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

William James

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

Kat Graham

CELEBRATE

MOTHER’S MATTER

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. Abraham Lincoln Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved. Erich Fromm For when a child is born the mother also is born again. Gilbert Parker A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them. Victor Hugo God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers. Rudyard Kipling Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws. Barbara Kingsolver Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever. Unknown Men are what their mothers made them. Ralph Waldo Emerson The mother’s heart is the child’s schoolroom. Henry Ward Beecher The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Theodore Hesburgh The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness. Honore de Balzac Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life. Sophocles

HERE’S A TIP

Not sure how to price your items for resale?

The rule for yard sales is as follows: For items that are new, still with tags or in original, unopened packaging, price it as 50% off retail. For items that are in good working condition, with all parts and accessories, mark it 30% of what you paid.

Other items should be marked down to 20% of what you paid. Be honest with yourself. If something is just usable, but not really worth a buck, put it in a “free” bin.

PREPARE

PROTECT YOUR LOVED ONES Preparing for the inevitable is a topic many shy away from, but getting your affairs in order is one of the greatest gifts you can leave behind. It eases the burden on loved ones and ensures that your wishes are respected. If you haven’t yet made a plan, now’s the time to act. Here’s a guide to the key documents and steps you should take to avoid legal headaches, confusion, and emotional stress for your family.

1. Designate Direct Beneficiaries for Bank Accounts Make sure all your bank accounts have direct beneficiaries assigned. This simple step allows your loved ones to access your funds by presenting your death certificate and their ID—no probate court necessary.

2. Use a TOD (Transfer On Death) Deed for Real Estate If you own property, a TOD deed is crucial. It allows you to name who will inherit your home and bypass the expensive, time-consuming probate process.

The designee only needs to bring their ID and your death certificate to the county office for the transfer to take effect.

3. Living Will A living will spells out your wishes regarding medical treatment if you’re unable to speak for yourself. This document ensures that your healthcare decisions are honored, reducing the pressure on your family during difficult times.

18

THE GRAND SEASON • MAY 2025

4. Durable Power of Attorney This document allows you to designate someone to handle your legal and financial matters if you’re no longer competent. Choose someone you trust to act in your best interest.

5. Healthcare Power of Attorney This authorizes a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf. It’s especially important if you face a situation where you’re incapacitated and can’t communicate.

6. Last Will and Testament Your will designates who will receive your personal belongings and assets. This is one of the most important documents for passing on your legacy clearly.

7. Funeral Planning Declaration Document your wishes for your funeral and body disposition. This eliminates confusion and ensures your final wishes are carried out as you envisioned.

GROWTH

DON’T WAIT

When most people think of estate planning, they immediately picture a will. While a will is certainly a vital piece of the puzzle, it’s only one part of a much larger picture. Estate planning is about more than just distributing your belongings—it’s about protecting your loved ones and ensuring that your wishes are respected, even when you’re no longer here to voice them.

Here’s a comprehensive look at the estate planning basics you need to know to start preparing for the future—today.

1. Take Inventory of Your Assets

Before any legal paperwork begins, you’ll want to know exactly what you own. Break your inventory down into two key categories: • Tangible Assets: These include physical possessions such as your home, vehicles, jewelry, electronics, furniture, and valuable collectibles like artwork.

• Intangible Assets: These aren’t as visible but are equally important. Think bank accounts, 401(k)s, stocks, bonds, life insurance policies, and any digital assets.

2. Consider Your Family’s Needs

Estate planning isn’t just about what you’re leaving—it’s about who you’re leaving it to. Make

26

THE GRAND SEASON • MAY 2025

sure your plan considers your family’s current and future needs, especially if you have minor children, dependents, or a spouse who relies on your income.

3. Put Legal Directives in Place

One of the most critical components of estate planning is having the right legal documents prepared. These ensure that your wishes are clearly stated and legally enforceable.

4. Review and Update Your Beneficiaries

A critical but often overlooked step is regularly checking the beneficiaries listed on your life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and other financial documents. Over time, life changes—like divorce, remarriage, or the passing of a loved one— can make those earlier designations outdated.

Make a habit of reviewing these documents every few years to ensure they still reflect your wishes.

5. Don’t Procrastinate

Estate planning can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to put it off—especially when life is busy. But the peace of mind that comes from knowing your affairs are in order is priceless. Start by creating a checklist and tackling one item at a time. Even small steps today can make a huge difference tomorrow.

YOU

BUILD A LEGACY A legacy isn’t just about money—it’s about leaving behind something meaningful that lives on after you’re gone. Whether it’s through the people you’ve influenced, the values you’ve passed on, or the way you’ve helped others, your legacy is the story that continues even when you’re not here to tell it.

You might think, “I’m not interested in leaving a legacy,” and that’s okay. But legacy doesn’t have to mean fame or fortune. It can be as personal as the impact you make on your children and grandchildren or the memories shared at your funeral. Here are some thoughtful ways to shape a legacy that reflects who you truly are:

Reflect on Your Life

Start by taking an honest look at your life. If today were your last day, what would others say about you? Would their words reflect the values and character you hope to be remembered for? If not, now is the perfect time to change that narrative.

Share Your Values

Passing down your core values is one of the most powerful ways to leave a legacy. Whether through

40

THE GRAND SEASON • MAY 2025

parenting, mentoring, or simply leading by example, your integrity, beliefs, and traditions can influence generations to come.

Be Generous

One common thread in powerful legacies is generosity. You don’t have to be wealthy to be generous. Acts of kindness, helping a neighbor, volunteering, or supporting a friend in need all build a legacy rooted in compassion and service.

Plan Your Financial Legacy

Even if you’re not rich, what you leave behind financially matters. Consider how your remaining assets can support your loved ones. Think about who will manage what you leave and how your wishes will be carried out. Having a financial plan in place brings peace of mind for both you and your family.

Your legacy starts now—not someday. Every choice you make, every life you touch, and every value you uphold shapes the story you’ll leave behind. Start today, and let your legacy be one of purpose, love, and impact.

NEW TOPLESS CLUB

By Lorraine Jo Polinsky Clark

As a proud resident of The Grand, I’d like to invite you to join our Topless Club!

Don’t worry—it’s not what it sounds like. Our club is for convertible enthusiasts who love the thrill of riding with the top down, soaking in the sunshine and fresh air. There’s something magical about a topless ride—the open road heightens your senses and connects you to every curve and breeze along the way.

The idea behind the club is simple: to gather likeminded folks who own convertibles and want to enjoy scenic, carefree

drives together. For one of our recent rides, we chose a scenic route ending at a charming restaurant about 50 miles away. Forty-one enthusiastic participants signed up, all arriving with shiny convertibles and full tanks, ready to roll.

As the ride started, I glanced in the rearview mirror and loved seeing a line of convertibles stretching behind us—with rock & roll playing—it felt like stepping back into the 1960s. The restaurant warmly welcomed us with personalized menus.

We enjoyed lunch overlooking a gorgeous

golf course framed by the mountains of Prescott National Forest. It was the perfect setting to meet new friends and share plans for future rides.

We aim to host three to five scenic drives per season, with Happy Hour gatherings during off months. Some rides will have limited space based on venue size, so signups will be first come, first served. The only requirement? You must own a convertible.

For more info or to join the fun, email me at lorrainejo@live.com or call 623-544-6300.

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.”
