Legacies come in all kinds of different forms.
That's one of the things Tsawwassen's Robb Lucy will touch on at his So, what's your Legacy seminar later this month.
"There's a million different things you can do for a legacy," said Lucy, a writer, producer and non-profit strategist.
"What you create now that enhances other lives and will continue to enhance lives when you're gone: that's what a legacy is," he said, adding most people think it's just the money left behind after you're gone.
He's hoping to make the idea of creating a legacy not seem like a heavy concept and to show that legacies can be started at any age.
Lucy, who produced a book about his late father's Second World War experiences, said that is an example of a legacy.
Another is writing your own "ethical will," a document that says, "Here's who I am. Here's what my life was, here's what my skills were."
Lucy is also working on a book about legacies. He said it would be half guide with the other half being a collection of stories about legacies that can be a "catalyst for the reader's imagination."
Lucy said those who come to the seminar would learn a ton.
"They'll be invigorated. Their imagination will be going. They'll have some great new tools to try," he said.
"They'll learn enough and be invigorated enough that they may say, 'Yes, I want a story in that book.'"
The seminar is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre. Admission is free. To confirm attendance, e-mail the names of those attending and phone number(s) to [email protected].
