How can you give your family a sense of identity, purpose and pride and leave a legacy?

In episode, I speak about the Legacy Journal as an alternative to writing and publishing a book, and why writing and publishing our stories matter.

“A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots” (Marcus Garvey).

Help your future generations to have concrete memories and knowledge of their family history. Use this guided journal to document your life experiences, genealogy, pictures of your family, story of faith, hopes, dreams, accomplishments, goals, lessons learnt along the journey, recipes and anything worth preserving.

Pen and pass on an endearing gift to your family members which they will treasure forever.

Do you have a powerful transformation story, passion or purpose?

Why not turn it into a book?

In this episode, Bishop Dr. Carla Dunbar’s story is epic—from teen mom, dancehall queen, being critically ill and pronounced dead several times to being a powerful Christian leader and author and going to the White house.

Bishop Dr. Carla Dunbar is a Marriage & Family Therapist and a Licensed Sex Therapist. She is also a Certified Professional Life Coach, Media Consultant, Director of Carla Dunbar Ministries and Counselling Care and founder of Life Temple Ministries International and the Grow Your Marriage Academy.

She has turned her story, mission and passion for family and relationships into three books: “Changed…The Journey, “SEXCRIPTION: A Prescription for Sex” and a 52-Week Couples Devotional. Her passion for marriage and the family continues to propel her to fulfil her mantra of ‘Rebuilding Jamaica… One Marriage at a Time.”
