Welcome to The Hearth of Legacy
Stories Lit From Within
Your Story Matters. Let’s Write It Together.


Launching April 2025 | First Course Edition Begins May 2025


You’ve lived a life filled with meaning, experiences, lessons, and love. Now, you’re ready to capture that wisdom and share it with others. Whether you call yourself an educator, mentor, guide, or lifelong learner, this is your invitation to sit by the fire and begin writing your legacy story.

The Hearth of Legacy: Stories Lit From Within is a book and guided online course designed especially for educators 60+ and older adults who know their story is not finished—it’s just entering its most powerful chapter. You may be retired, unretired, or in the process of reimagining your contribution for the world. This book and course are your tools to reflect, create, and contribute with intention.

We begin at the hearth—the warm, welcoming center where stories are spoken, remembered, and passed on. Around the hearth, we are all welcome. And your voice? It belongs here.


A Living Invitation

This is not just about leaving something behind. It’s about living forward with clarity, confidence, and creativity. In the book and course, you’ll explore the foundational themes of:

  • Discovering your original Hearth Story
  • Shaping your story into a gift for others
  • Creating a Living Legacy Portfolio
  • Navigating legacy projects with clarity and purpose
  • Using nature, hospitality, and intergenerational wisdom to enrich your voice

And you’ll do it without writer’s fatigue. We know the blocks that come with legacy writing—the fog, the fear, the feeling of "where do I even begin?" That’s why our course and book provide guided writing prompts, mindset shifts, and legacy-focused frameworks to gently move you forward.


Why This Matters Now

You don’t need to be a writer to write your legacy. You only need to be ready.

So many educators and older adults carry powerful stories within them, but they don’t yet have a clear path to bring those stories to life. They’re overwhelmed by options, stopped by perfectionism, or unsure how to shape their story into something truly meaningful.

That’s why we created The Hearth of Legacy. It’s a place to gather your insights, map your journey, and light the way for others. It’s also a space for healing—to release old stories that no longer serve and to honor the ones that still do.

Your story isn’t just history. It’s legacy in motion.


What You’ll Gain (5 Powerful Benefits)

  1. Clarity and Confidence to Begin
    We guide you to uncover your Hearth Story—the origin that fuels your purpose and legacy. No more wondering where to start.
  2. A Proven Process to Overcome Writer’s Block
    With gentle structure, creative prompts, and visual mapping tools, you’ll find a rhythm that respects your pace and honors your voice.
  3. Your Living Legacy Portfolio
    You’ll begin shaping a dynamic, three-part legacy portfolio—including product-folio (tangible artifacts), process-folio (intangible skills), and possible-folio (vision and future contributions).
  4. Intergenerational Impact
    Learn how to write with the next generation in mind, using your life’s lessons as bridges of connection and wisdom.
  5. Nature-Inspired Creativity and Hospitality-Based Reflection
    Use metaphors from nature and practices of hospitality to create stories that are warm, welcoming, and deeply rooted in who you are.

Who Is This For?

  • Educators 60+ in formal or informal settings
  • Culture creatives, misfits, and meaning-makers
  • Rebels, mentors, elders, and disruptors ready to share their truth
  • Anyone feeling the call to contribute a story that could light the path for someone else

Whether you see yourself as a polished writer or a hesitant beginner, you’ll find your place here.
