What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?

We wake up, get work, go back home and rinse and repeat – or at least it feels that way sometimes. In truth, there are a million moments in between where we interact with others and we can’t help but wonder what folks will think about us once we aren’t showing up, perhaps once we are gone.

I hope my daughters say that I was loving, fun, taught them to be strong and showed them that they could be successful while raising families. I hope they say that they saw me fall, but that I always got up and tried again, that I taught them they were allowed to take up space. Read more>>

That I inspired them in some kind of way. From my creativity, my knowledge or just my presence. Read more>>
