Inspiring Practices
So it is, what little we leave behind is our legacy—which will in time become another generation’s heritage. What we as individuals or as a community do with what we have, with what we have learned, the choices we make, and how we choose to live our lives is our legacy. This, perhaps, can be summed up in the letters that spell the word LEGACY.
