to represent the kind of legacy
you want to leave to future generations.

What kind of world do you want to leave your great-grandchildren?
What can you do today to help create that world?

with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

Our "Rainbows and Butterflies" are the small miracles of our life -
the little things that are so easy to overlook,

for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."

Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.
