Your Creative Memorial Planning & Legacies

EPISODE 004 -Jenny Leigh Hodgins - Author/Composer/Creativepreneur GRIEF WARNING It has been a long time since I last posted an episode.  My mom passed away on Oct. 23rd, 2020. The very grief explains why it was so difficult for me to get through the editing of this episode. During this season of grief, I  taught a class called "NO REGRETS" in which the participants had to create a legacy project. The word "legacy" actually drew me to today's guest, Jenny Leigh Hodgins is our guest today whose Facebook group is called "Your Creative Memorial Planning."  Jenny had been put in the position of 3 times of suddenly loosing a close family member and/or friend. These people that passed had not made any end of life arrangements. Jenny was the one who put her own feelings on hold while she stepped up to the plate and took care of those difficult tasks at hand.  Jenny and a friend of hers ended up doing taking on this responsibility 9 different times.  And later Jenny actually had to plan that person's service as well. That is when Jenny realized that she had accrued a much needed talent. Her creative talents fit in by helping people design non-traditional services that are unique to the lives they are celebrating and often making it more meaningful and less costly. She now offers a mentoring service to people who would like assistance through the pre-planning process. Jenny's music and piano teaching background easily fits in with memorial services.   She teaches adults how to play the piano and she has created her own piano book. She is a blogger and a podcaster. Jenny loves nature and often works nature into whatever she is doing. She uses her pictures of nature to create calendars and other products. Below are links to Jenny's multi-faceted career.
