0:00.0	Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. I thought it'd be fun to talk today about legacy.
0:05.0	What is the legacy you want to leave for your loved ones, your kids, your spouse? What are they
0:10.9	going to remember you for when you're gone? A lot of people define legacy as the money or
0:16.0	property left behind, but I think our true legacy is the memories we create for our loved ones and the skills
0:24.4	and behaviors and emotions and patterns that we pass on because they watch us and they learn from
0:30.4	us. So with that said, I want to share some of the things I learned from both of my grandmothers.
0:36.7	And they both left a different legacy.
0:39.5	I grew up on a farm in Southwest Iowa. And my parents grew up on farms in Southwest Iowa.
0:45.3	In fact, when they were growing up, their parents lived about three miles apart and played

1:27.4	My brother and I would often ride our bikes down to my grandma Bertha because we were there always doing farm things. My brother and I would often ride our
1:29.0	bikes down to my grandma Bertha's house because there was always something happening there.
1:34.0	Our cousins might be there. It was close. So that was my grandma Bertha. Let me tell you more about
1:39.2	her. She had dark Auburn hair that was curly. She wore glasses. She loved horses. She had cats.
1:47.6	And she loved sports. That family was a sports family, particularly basketball.
1:54.3	Grandma Bertha wasn't exactly a warm person. She didn't really hug. She was stern and at times, but also friendly. She always had a
2:04.1	cookie jar and we can get a cookie out of it at any time. She was all about work ethic and
