Yesterday, I had a wonderful experience -- watching "The Color Purple" with my oldest daughter and members of my sorority. Witnessing the powerful performances by Fantasia, Ciara, Taraji and the rest of the cast, I was moved to tears. Their portrayal of strength and resilience was not just a performance; it was a legacy in action. Sitting there, emotions swirling, my mind drifted to the concept of legacy. How will our children remember us? What imprints are we leaving on this earth? It struck me how Fantasia and Ciara’s children will one day see their work and feel immense pride. This revelation led me to think about the legacy each of us can leave. A legacy we can be proud of. A legacy our children can be proud of. A legacy others can learn from. And for me, and you, it's through our stories because its more than just words on pages; it's a piece of your soul, a fragment of your essence left for the world to treasure. It's your voice echoing through generations, your story inspiring countless lives. So, I ask you, how are you leaving your mark? What's your vision of a legacy? When I started our business, I had no idea where it would take me. And to think, we have helped countless women and men to create (write and publish) a piece of their legacy. That's impact! Every chapter you write is a step towards creating something enduring, something that will speak long after we're gone. Are you ready to leave a legacy that lights the way for future generations? Let’s start with your story. Join our next anthology -- https://bit.ly/BWIL2023

Having driven 2.5 hours to The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Arts in Newcastle to see my daughter Becca's end-of-degree exhibition, I couldn't wait to get into the building. As I jumped out of the car and raced around the corner, the heavens opened. I had no brolly so I was going to get soaked. I held my handbag over my head and sprinted! Seeing her waiting at the door and walking up to her exhibit melted the dampness because this was the proudest moment of my life. So far...

Recently, I had the privilege of diving into "21 Lessons for the 21st Century" by Yuval Noah Harari, and its impact on my perspective is beyond words. Allow me to share a passage that resonated deeply: "Self-observation has never been easy, but it might get harder with time... It will be the algorithms that will decide for us who we are and what we should know about ourselves. For a few more years or decades, we still have a choice. If we make the effort, we can still investigate who we really are. But if we want to make use of this opportunity, we had better do it now." Harari's exploration of our evolving relationship with technology and the narratives shaping our identities is eye-opening. This book is not just a read; it's a journey that prompts introspection and challenges us to reclaim our narrative in a world of complex stories and advancing algorithms. I invite you all to delve into this compelling piece of literature. It’s not merely a book; it’s a catalyst for expanding our minds and rethinking our perceptions in an era where self-discovery and understanding are more crucial than ever. Let's seize this chance to unravel the intricacies of our reality before it slips away. #bookrecommendation

Albach wasn’t for Nekrachni just about receiving 5000 EUR and support from Philip List, Managing Director at FLiP - Erste Financial Life Park. 👀 We were honored to attend the MEGA Hackathon on Financial and Economic Literacy, which was part of the Lab Days on the European Alpbach Forum. Throughout the intensive three days, we collaborated with mentors to address our challenges and unearthed trends essential for the success of impactful projects. Alongside Christoph Musik, @Daniel Klas, and Jana Vítová, we formulated these key points: 👉Speak less about yourself listen more to others. 👉Emotionalize facts with storytelling. 👉Less alone, more together 👉Be bold, make the change. Experiencing Alpbach was a very needed push not only for Nekrachni but also for me personally. Many thanks to MEGA Bildungsstiftung, Liechtenstein Group, and Sigma Squared Society for making this possible.🤍 How about you? What are your takeaways from Alpbach? copyright: European Forum Alpbach / Bogdan Baraghin

Your brain is like a museum. It has pictures hanging on the wall with little captions explaining what they are. A lot of them are dusty 🤧 and some captions are even falsified 🧐 If you're worried about something and anxious about it going wrong — you've hung the WRONG picture. Whatever pictures are hanging in your Brain Museum, are what your mind uses as a blueprint for what you want. Your brain RUNS on these pictures. And those pictures turn into results in real life. So if you have a crappy picture of the future, you're basically creating a crappy outcome. Here's a simple hack for you - change the picture. Make it go exactly how you'd like it to go in this picture. Make it bright, big, beautiful. Don't hold anything back! Make it everything you ever wanted. and then snap your fingers as you snap the picture into the frame! stick it back on the wall in front of you. and watch yourself move mountains - because now you know how GOOD it can go. and how CAPABLE you really are. You really can do it - You've done hard things before. Cultivate your Brain Museum so it only has the best of the best 😉 #SelfLove #Empowerment #YouAreWorthy
