Ep 83 When a Jewish elementary school teacher meets a man who recently left the priesthood on a beach in Florida, it may sound like a set up for a joke. But, this is a fascinating story about creating, living, and leaving a legacy, and I think you will really enjoy hearing about her journey.  

–

Merle R. Saferstein is an educator, speaker, author, and a pioneer in the field of legacy journaling. She has been journaling for 48 years and has amassed a collection of 380 journals,  which are the basis for her legacy journal Living and Leaving My Legacy, Vol 2. Former Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg wrote the foreword and Vol 2 launched June 2023. 

Her dedication to journaling makes her not only incredibly unique, but someone who is filled with stories, life lessons, and is the definition of a woman who was years ahead of her time.
