I have always loved to read. From the book mobile of my childhood to the book mobile I recently found in the community where my husband and I now reside. Many people here exude a zest for these precious years of life, delving deep into passions that were overshadowed through the years of work and kids and the hundreds of other responsibilities. Donnella Looger is one of those people living out her gift and passion.

My guests are New England Patriots Offensive Tackle, Calvin Anderson and his grandmother, Marjorie Anderson. If you haven't had a chance, please listen to a previous episode about Marjorie and her book, The Key: Wise Money Choices for Teens. That episode shows the impact of her inheritance that we talk about here.
I wasn’t blessed with having grandparents that spent time with me. My mother’s mother lived with us for a while, but she was quiet and didn’t interact much with us. So, I’m a little jealous of what you are about to hear. It shows the power of grandparents and their influence. Marjorie lovingly calls her grandson Booby, a nickname I'm very familiar with, having an Uncle Booby. Booby shares his story about his GMom and her impact while Marjorie shares her beliefs about leaving an inheritance much bigger than money, how to live with it.

"The first time I was incarcerated I was 14 years old; the real man rules were magnified. I had to up my game if I wanted to be a real man, my life depended on it. I was sucked deeper into the world of better cars, more money, more women, more drugs, and no emotions. For the next 19 years, I was arrested over 37 times, in and out of jail, and had attempted suicide a number of times. Life was spinning out of control."
Getting in touch with my emotions was foreign to me; I really did not even know what that meant."
