Ever wondered what it would be like to leave something behind to make a difference? We all want to leave a legacy of some sort when we leave this earth but what about while we are still here?
Breadcrumbs were created by Frances Copeland Lucas to leave behind to make a difference in the areas of life where we need the most help: Career, Finances, Health, Ministry, Relationships and Spirituality. And, recently added, Self-Care.
