Legacy, Laughter & Life

Every life has a story worth remembering - and sometimes those surface in the middle of a move.

Sometimes it’s messy.


Sometimes it’s curvy.


Sometimes it looks like a kitchen table full of memories and a living room full of decisions.

But every life is a legacy worth honoring.

In this space, I share stories gathered from front porches, quiet afternoons, and downsizing projects that turn into unexpected heart-to-hearts. These aren’t formal interviews. They’re glimpses into real lives - told with permission and shared with heart.

Some are funny. Some are tender. Some still bring a lump to my throat.

But each one reminds me why I do this work.

Because the stories we carry are just as important as the stuff we let go.
