In a flash, Kelly. {{hugs}}

“Of all the information placed on you headstone although you name is very important the date of your birth and death are not so important as the dash in the middle.”

I think that pretty much sums up what all of us have said it is not so important who we are or how long we lived it is what we have done to make the lives of other people better.

BTW, reading all the comments was really not a chore it was a blessing.

As I think more about it, I like the others want to be remembered for different things from different people in my life. But in the end, I think its all summed up by saying that I want to be thought of as “a kind person who made my life better by knowing him.”

Yeah, that’s about right! 🙂

I think Jeanette’s comment about being memorable today resonated the most with me. After going to a college reunion this weekend, I found out that a fellow classmate suddenly dropped dead while preaching a funeral a few months ago. That was a definite wake-up call. It’s so easy for me to put things off thinking there will be a tomorrow, but who knows?

What I’m doing in my personal life is trying to share love with family and friends any way that I can. I hope that my grandchildren will remember that I loved them and took time to listen to their stories and dreams. I never let any friend or relative leave the house with unspoken anger between us. I want to know that they will remember the last words I said to them as being positive ones.

In my business, I strive to be helpful to other people, to be someone who puts the person before the dollar. I enjoy sharing things that will help others to be more successful both in their personal and business lives.

I really enjoyed reading and thinking about this topic.

Well now I realize I didn’t even answer your question! lol.

What am I doing NOW to leave a legacy, today?

Well I’m working to be a better mom. I think sometimes as a single mom my son gets too much of my stress and I HATE that.

I volunteer time at the school and on school council. I like to be a voice for the students and be part of what’s going on with their education. Today I helped with breakfast club. I donate when I can and do like to support other internet marketers who do donation sales.

I do my best to be the most helpful friend ever. My friends are so important to me, and I try to be the most reliable friend ever.

hmmm…

I haven’t thought about this question for a long, long time. Many years ago I was in a network marketing candle business and reading some related book (can’t remember the book) and the book told us to ask ourselves what we’d want people to say at our funeral. Fairly morbid thought but it was what you are asking – what is your legacy.

I can’t remember what I wanted it to be then but I think quite simply I want to have made a difference. I want to be remembered as caring and kind, loving and understanding.

I’d also like to believe that I’ll be remembered as a pioneer in an industry that is still so very new. It’s just not common to run into people who make a full living online, from home, doing it their own way. Most people still don’t even believe it’s possible. I believe what we’re doing here is changing the way people work and live. Just like industry took women out of the home, the internet has the ability to bring them back in and still make a great living. I’m proud to be part of that!

I definitely need to think on it some more, but it’s a great question and I so appreciate and love all your answers!

I am committed to be being a blessing in the lives of others-online and offline. I want to instill in my son that he can accomplish his every dream with hard work and perseverance. It is also important that I have taught him about the importance of service. I want to leave a legacy of love and service.

Yes, dear… she’s a keeper.

In a heart beat, Kelly!
