Ancestral Wisdom Transforms When We’re Broken

Published 2025-08-06 11-27

Summary

After rereading “Legacy Found,” I realized how Julius’ journey mirrors life’s truth: real change happens in our darkest moments, not when we’re comfortable. His story shows how ancestral wisdom can transform our present.

The story

I just finished rereading my novel “Legacy Found” and it hit me how much of myself is in Julius’ journey. His story starts with something many of us face – that gut punch when you realize your life isn’t what you thought it would be.

When Julius loses his father and has that dream, he has to face his failures head-on. I wrote this because real change rarely happens when we’re comfortable – it crashes into our lives during our darkest moments.

What fascinated me most was writing about unexpected mentorship. Mitchell shows up in Julius’ life at exactly the right moment – isn’t that how the best guidance finds us? Not when we’re prepared, but when we’re desperate for direction.

The book connecting them represents something I believe deeply: our ancestors left wisdom that can transform our present if we listen. Their experiences with love, tragedy, and turmoil aren’t just history – they’re blueprints for resilience.

I’ve learned that self-reflection is uncomfortable but necessary. Both characters change by facing difficult truths together. Their vulnerability creates space for growth.

What have you discovered in your own family history? What wisdom might be waiting in stories you’ve never explored?
