Heritage is about the values we choose to carry forth from those to whom we are related and/or those who we choose as our spiritual ancestors.  Our heritage bestows a legacy, calls us to carry stories forward, and lives in the whispers of our hearts. Opening to our heritage helps us understand why we are here and reminds us of our responsibilities to continue living our values and to pass these on.  Susan Kaphammer offers this message as part of our Soul Matters series.
