WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES:
THE LIGHT YOU LEAVE BEHIND: CREATING A LEGACY
Welcome to a powerful journey beyond the present moment. In this series, you're going to explore the profound and liberating concept of leaving a legacy—not just in the things you do, but in the person you are. Each meditation is a guide to help you live a more intentional life, so that your kindness, courage, and unique spirit will create a positive ripple effect for generations to come. Your life is a masterpiece, and it's time to realize the beautiful impact you are already making. It's time to build your living monument.
This series is a replay from a series I recorded a few years ago. I hope you enjoy a 7-day journey to share the best parts of you for generations to come.
This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Light You Leave Behind," episodes 2303-2309.
YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Begin a Legacy Quest!
Consider what kind of legacy you'd like to leave. A legacy is a way to share yourself with others. Create a length of time for how long you'll commit to your Legacy Quest.
