Legacy

I want my legacy to be that I was an amazing mother and wife. That I was successful in my career and known to be kind and always hard working. That I taught my children valuable life lessons and set them up for a great path in their life. I would tell my younger self to stay in the moment and don't try to jump into the next thing. Time goes by so fast so enjoy the time your having in present.
