In Chapter 5, we met Mary Beth, a perfectionist whose relentless drive led her to the brink of burnout.
Today, we turn to Sally—a devoted mother whose heartfelt mission was to leave a meaningful legacy for each of her children.
Sally’s Story
Sally always dreamed of giving her children something that would remind them of her love and their shared family bond. One of her children had achieved fame, yet Sally wanted all her children to know they mattered equally. She took joy in crafting personalized mementos, gifts, and notes—each reflecting the unique needs and personalities of her children.
Through our work together, we organized her memorabilia and meaningful items so she could create a legacy that felt cohesive, heartfelt, and fair. Beyond the practical tasks of sorting and storing, Sally’s beautiful spirit shone through: her ultimate goal was to ensure every child felt cherished, no matter their path in life. And in bringing this vision to reality, Sally herself found deep fulfillment and peace.
