What is a Heritage Maker?

There is a quote from Hitch that I love "Life isn't about the amounts of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away." I love this quote because I think that's really what life is about. But not only in making those memories but keeping them, sharing them and passing them down. But not only is about creating and remembering those moments it's also what make each person them. It's our values, our self esteem, dreams, our hope, our names, our family, our future, our past, our now. It is who we are. Our heritage is who and where we come from, but it's also who we are and who we want to be. It is the values, self esteem, and hope see in our children's eyes and in the prayers we offer in their behalf. By making books and helping others make theirs I feel it is a small way toward "Preserving the stories of the pictures of our life's", capturing our past of who we are and where we came from the values and lessons of generations, our now of the moments we create and memories we make, the hope and value we place in the future each child at a time. All of us are heritage makers. I am proud to say I am a Heritage Maker!
