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 2 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.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 2,9004 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to day two of the series we're exploring this week. This week you are on a special quest to leave a legacy. |
| 0:22.6 | Now this could be something that you have been wanting to do for yourself or for others |
| 0:29.6 | for a while. |
| 0:31.1 | You know what that is. |
| 0:33.6 | It's some yearning within your heart. |
| 0:36.6 | Something you've been wanting to explore. |
| 0:39.9 | It's like going on a treasure hunt, and a quest is different from a goal you set for yourself. |

| 2:11.8 | review of the podcast and let me know how your meditation ritual is coming along. |
| 2:27.5 | Well, I promise that I'd share with you about my own quest, which started as a meditation podcast. |
