Making your living legacy
When you lose someone it brings home your own mortality, and it has made me think about how I want people to think about me when I die.
On my other blog for business The Engaging Brand I interviewed Rob Galford who has just written a book about living your legacy and one of his comments really hit home with me.

After losing someone who left such a loving legacy, I am now going to write down how I want others to think about me, and live that legacy every day…..I haven’t decided what that will be yet but I believe it will give me a focus at this difficult time. What would you want your legacy to be?
