Legacy isn’t just what we leave behind; it’s what we build every day in the lives we touch, the kindness we show, and the values we live by. True impact comes from giving, not waiting. So, ask yourself - what legacy are you building today? #LegacyThroughGiving #ReflectWithPurpose #GratitudeInAction #GuillermoWorld #WarmEmbace #GFDGroups

Giving thanks through generosity. Check out this quote: “You don’t become generous by accident. Like with finances, fitness, or your career, you need a real vision and strategy to succeed. To be clear, we do need boundaries and to be centered. If we do this well, we can all become a powerful, collective force for good. But without a plan, we won’t be centered. The plan of action is what keeps us healthy and focused.” I love the idea of planning generosity. Being intentional about it. We are all busy making lists of what we need to buy for Thanksgiving dinner and what we need to buy for Christmas gifs. What if we make a list of what we need to do to live a generous life? What if we plan for it? I have a strong feeling we (and I include me in this, for sure) will do better than how we are currently doing it. Being intentional about stewarding treasure?

In honor of Grandparents Day, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the legacy we want to leave for our families.

How can you intentionally shape the future for those you love? #LeaveALegacy #BellinoFinancialCoaching #GenerationalWealth

It’s almost Global Month of Volunteering (GMV)! For all my #Amazonians out there, we share our resources to benefit customers all year round, but GMV is a great time to do the same for the communities we’re part of too. Giving back to our communities is fundamentally Amazonian - just look at our LP “Success and scale bring broad responsibility”. The link below is an effort to support a non politically polarized effort - Cancer Research. A pain, many of us/ our families have unfortunately been impacted by. https://lnkd.in/g-VyyfFQ #sellinpartnerservices #spsgives #globalmonthofvolunteerig #amazon #corporateresponsibility #sps

Dear Friends and Fellow Veterans, As we approach Memorial Day, there's something I feel compelled to share. This day is more than just the unofficial start of summer or a long weekend spent barbecuing and enjoying the outdoors. It's about remembering. Reflect back on the oath you took when you decided to serve. You pledged your life to a cause bigger than yourself. And, you weren't alone. Countless members of our community have experienced this profound connection, a sense of singular purpose that surpasses any other. When we transition out of service, it's as if we've suddenly lost that purpose. That guiding light that once illuminated our path seems to fade. It's a unique form of loss, one that can feel overwhelming and all-consuming. However, when the uniform comes off, the service doesn't have to end. We need to remember that our commitment to serve, to contribute to something more profound than our individual selves, doesn't simply disappear. This Memorial Day, whether you're grilling in your backyard or spending time with your family, I implore you to take a moment. Remember those who have fallen in service to our great nation. Remember your time in service, the trials and triumphs, the camaraderie and the hardships. But, more than that, remember your purpose. Remember that you were built to serve, to answer a call greater than yourself. This is our collective legacy. And it's a purpose we can continue to pursue, in various ways, long after our time in uniform ends. What does service beyond the uniform look like for you? Is it mentoring the next generation, launching a venture that helps others, or finding another way to make a positive impact? Regardless of your path, remember you're not alone. We are all navigating this journey together, linked by a shared history, a shared purpose, and a shared commitment to service. Let's honor those who have given everything on this Memorial Day - not just by remembering them, but by living out the purpose they died for. What does your purpose look like today? How are you continuing to serve? #MemorialDay #VeteranTransition #LifeAfterService #SharedPurpose

Highlighting Jack Bloomfield: A True Champion for Veterans Today, I want to shine a light on someone who truly embodies the spirit of giving back—Jack Bloomfield of First Tee Broward. Jack offers incredible services to veterans, dedicating his time and energy to making a difference in their lives through the game of golf. His passion, kindness, and unwavering commitment remind us just how powerful one person's impact can be. Jack's work is a testament to the idea that giving back doesn't just help others—it strengthens the entire community. We need more people like him who selflessly volunteer their time and hearts to care for those in need. But here's the question Jack inspires us all to ask: What's your why? Why are you helping your community grow? Why are you giving back? For me, it's about honoring those who've served, creating opportunities for veterans to find healing and purpose, and building a supportive community through the power of golf. I had the privilege of interviewing Jack recently, and I encourage you to watch the video linked here. His words are inspiring, and his encouragement for others to step up and make a difference is something we all need to hear. Let's follow Jack's example and look for ways we can give back—whether big or small, every act of kindness matters. Together, we can create a stronger, more compassionate world. What's your why? Let me know in the comments! #FirstTeeBroward #VeteransSupport #GiveBackToCommunity #GolfWithPurpose #OneSwingAtATime #WarriorGolfAcademy #InspiringChange #VolunteerWithPurpose
