New-Why I do what I do
Mason and Landon at Hotel Del Coronado
This is the second installment in my series: The Why Behind the Artist.
These handsome men to the left are two of the reasons I do what I do.
I write so my family will have a better life.
Isn’t creating a better life for your children sort of the goal? It is for me. And it has nothing to do with the way I grew up. Just a heartfelt desire, for them to walk away from cultural norm and to live in truth.
I hope my writing helps to keep them free. I pray that they will help others to live in truth. That is the legacy I hope to pass on.
What legacy are you leaving?
I always think of legacy as a by-product of giving your best where you’ve got your best to give, and helping others do the same.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou
J.D.- thank you for stopping by. I love what you wrote about legacy. It’s inspiring to think about giving your best and helping others do the same. I’m sure you are leaving a wonderful legacy, because you are so intentional and clear on what it is.
Audra,
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children … to leave the world a better place … to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
~ these words ARE you, dear friend. And your family, your children – what a gift you are to them.
Lance, does your kindness know no bounds? Thank you so much! I will treasure your comments forever. I always say it takes one to know one, so you are a wonderful gift too, to everyone around you!
