Estate planning traditionally focuses on your financial assets—your stuff. But what about your other assets? Such as your wisdom, values, beliefs, and experiences. These are essential to pass on as well. In Your Meaning Legacy, non-financial estate planning expert Laura A. Roser, reveals a step-by-step approach to cultivating, capturing and passing on what matters most.From the author:Several years ago, I met with a financial advisor who hooked me with the line, “We have a process to help you pass on your wisdom and principles to your children.”Unfortunately, the line was just a ploy to sell me a life insurance policy. But the thought suck in my head: How would one go about passing on wisdom and principles to their children?And on a grander scale: How would one go about cultivating and passing on a legacy of excellence?My team and I spent the next several years coming up with answers to these questions. On our quest, we interviewed some of the best and brightest about legacy development and the inner workings of non-financial success—the list included influential CEOs, millionaires, celebrities, religious leaders, storytelling experts, top artists, innovative thinkers, philanthropists, family dynamics specialists, and more. And what we discovered is that there are seven key components to cultivating a meaningful legacy. These components must be “packaged up” correctly in order to share them with your loved ones, otherwise what gets left behind is accidental. My book, Your Meaning Legacy, documents a step-by-step approach to defining your non-financial assets and packaging them up as a great gift for those you love. Among other things, you will learn: How to clarify your legacy vision to create more fulfillment and purpose in life. Ways to improve family communication and create joint goals. Why a child's understanding of their past leads to higher levels of self-esteem, loyalty to the family, and independence. How to avoid regrets—you will not reach the end of your life and wonder why you didn't express your love before it was too late. Strategies to capture your knowledge to pass on to loved ones so that they have an "instruction manual" from you outlining lessons you've learned, what you believe in, and how you have done practical things (such as manage money or grow your business). How to build a legacy to be remembered for, providing hope, a sense of pride, and inspiration for future generations. Which components are essential to create a tangible record of your life that will be treasured and not fade over time, as memories tend to do. Why your giving personality may be the key to more meaningful philanthropic endeavors. And much more. This instructional book has dramatically changed the way I think about my impact on others and my purpose in life. I certainly hope it helps you in creating more meaningful connections and packaging up the best parts of yourself to be passed on to your loved ones.Everyone has a unique legacy to leave behind. I wish you luck on your journey.All the best,Laura Roser

From dust jacket notes: "Ghosts along the Mississippi presents a vivid history of the rise and fall of the Louisiana plantation, as revealed through the architectural forms of the region. It is clear from the one hundred superb photographs contained in this volume that beauty resides amid ruins just as it does at restoration sites. The imaginative scope of the photographs and the often poetic nature of the accompanying text leave an indelible impression of the grandeur and graciousness that were embodied in these beautiful southern homes. Clarence John Laughlin does not assert that these plantation structures were inherently original in design. Rather, he acknowledges certain derivations of style from French and classical forms. Tracing the modification, adaptation, and refinement of these forms, he chronicles the development of an architecture peculiar to Louisiana. Through word and picture, Mr. Laughlin demonstrates how climate and indigenous building materials played such an important role in this evolution; for the first time in nineteenth-century America, certain houses appeared in the lower Mississippi valley whose design actually grew out of the nature of the materials used - plastered brick and cypress wood. Since one of the fundamental concerns of the modern architect is to respect the innate character of materials, certain Louisiana plantation houses may be considered important native roots of modern architecture. In this sense, these houses possess a significance that extends beyond aesthetic appeal, romantic legend, or historical fact. Combining a deep feeling for his native Louisiana with his imaginative and masterful photography, Mr. Laughlin has produced a magnificent volume that belongs in the collection of photography buffs and admirers of fine architecture everywhere...."
