#1. One Little Word : Legacy
You can use this word as/in your title work, within your journaling, or simply let it inspire the direction of your layout.
By definition, Legacy means:
* an amount of money or property left to someone in a will.
(i've never been left anything)
* an applicant to a particular college or university who is regarded preferentially because a parent or other relative attended the same institution.
(my child didn't go to the same college as my husband or myself, nor us to our parents)
* denoting or relating to software or hardware that has been superseded but is difficult to replace because of its wide use.
(I have no idea what this even means! )
How are you all scrapping this challenge, Legacy?
