Guiding You to Write Your Own Lasting Legacy
Born and raised in France, my earliest memories are rooted in the pages of classical literature — I dreamed of becoming an author. Life, however, took me on a different path.
After moving to Israel, I built a family, pursued several careers, and eventually settled in Colorado with my husband Sharon, our four children, and our dog Aristo. Along the way, I earned degrees in engineering and arts and culture, mastered international trade, and became a Reiki practitioner and energy healer. I gathered skills. I gained perspective. But something was still missing.
It wasn’t until I returned to writing — the quiet space where reflection meets meaning — that I felt whole again.
Today, as the Legacy Writing Guide, I help others reconnect with their own stories. Not just to write them down, but to preserve them with care, celebrate their truth, and pass them on as a lasting legacy.
My writing journey began as a way to make sense of my life — a personal path from feeling shaped by circumstances to feeling empowered by my own story.
That transformation sparked something deeper: a calling to help others find clarity, healing, and self-acceptance through reflection and writing.
This vision led me to create O.D.E.L. — my signature approach that stands for Origin, Deep, Expressive, and Lasting Legacy. It’s a guided process designed to help people connect with their past, honor their truth, and create something enduring for future generations.
As the Legacy Writing Guide, I don’t just help people write their stories —
I help them see the value in their experiences, find meaning in their journey, and turn those memories into a legacy that truly lasts.
Is it time to turn your story into your greatest gift?
Let’s write your legacy — together.
With love and light,
Odelia

“Every moment with Odelia was worthwhile, inspiring, and extremely helpful to me. She not only teaches, but she coaches, identifying our potential and nudging us toward a better piece of writing, always! I found my voice, my writing voice, by working with Odelia, after two years of grief, letting my writing lapse. I am personally stronger. I am a stronger writer. Thank you, Odelia!” –J
