5. Live Your Legacy: I attended Bethany Rutledge’s memorial service last Friday. Bethany was an amazing wife, mother, family member, coach, and community leader. She was also my former triathlon coach and an expert featured in our grief empowerment video series. In the midst of deep grief & sorrow, Bethany’s family shared a sacred lesson on living your legacy and trusting God in extreme pain.
