Legacy Letters That Change Lives
From the "Stepping Up and Stepping Out Real Talk" show with Dr. Val
Dear Trailblazers,
What does it mean to leave a legacy that transforms generations? This week, we had the honor of sitting down with Tammy Edwards, co-author of "From Our Years to Through Your Ears," who shared her powerful journey of wisdom, resilience, and purpose.
Spotlight: Tammy Edwards' Wisdom
The Foundation of Strength Tammy's story begins with the profound wisdom passed down from her grandmother and aunt.
Their timeless words still echo in her life:
"Keep living child, you'll understand"
"The only way to keep from growing old is to die young"
"Keep your hand in God's hand - He'll get you through"
Turning Pain into Purpose At age 21, Tammy faced her greatest challenge when her beloved grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer. This pivotal moment led her through a season of grief and poor choices but ultimately became the catalyst for her transformation back to purpose.
Key Takeaways from Tammy's Legacy Letter
1. Surround Yourself with Wisdom "I've always loved being around older people because they had wisdom... take out negative influences."
2. Words Have Power "Our words are so powerful... speak life over that child, not condemnation."
3. Legacy is More Than Material "Legacy is not about leaving houses and land and money. It's about leaving wisdom, purpose, and planting seeds in people."
4. Her One Word: LOVE "God is love. If we can't love each other as individuals, what do we really have?"
