We don’t have to do something “grand” with our lives in order to leave a meaningful legacy. Rather, it’s in those seemingly small acts of love and kindness that we give in our day-to-day life, that we leave behind our legacy –  the kind of legacy that matters.

The Live Your Legacy series is about honoring your life's purpose and making the most of your life. Today Kris shares the importance of passion.  She shares an intimate story of a time in her life when she wasn't feeling much passion and how she awakened her heart to feel more alive. When we ignite a spark of passion in one area of our lives, it tends to ignite all other areas too.  Kris's favorite quote is from Norman Cousins, "The tragedy of life is not death; the tragedy of life is what we let die inside us while we live." Listen in as Kris leads you into having a love affair with your life. Ignite that little spark and see how it has a domino effect on everything. Live with passion and your heart will be grateful.  You can read more about passion and purpose in Kristine Carlson's book, From Heartbreak to Wholeness: the hero's journey to joy.
