One of the seven habits of highly effective people is to begin with the end in mind - in other words what story will our lives tell at our funeral? And to spend our time writing that story through our thoughts and our actions.
Today we attended a memorial service for a family member that I thought was my style.
- a poem
- a few scripted testimonials from family
- a couple songs
- "open mic" for anyone who wished to say a few words (and a few did)
- a closing prayer
Then, for this motorcycle fanatic, a 1970's rock song with the sounds of motorcycles revving played softly as people exited.
Simple, personal, creative, fun and brief! The way life is.

Good way to commemorate the day/event, Joe.
