The Legacy Project
The Legacy Project is simple. It is a journal. Inside the journal, I wrote a question on each page. I provided instructions to the recipient asking them to take time over the next year to answer the questions with as much or as little detail as they desire. Then, after the year, I ask that the journal be wrapped up as a gift and given back to me.
