On your best days, you are unstoppable, open-minded, loving, wise and fiercely kind. Stay this way.

C.S. Lewis once said, “No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”

If and when there is a measure of my life and its worth, I wish to have given enough of myself away that my gifts would outlive me.

When we see possibility; what could be and not what is or was we welcome gratitude into our lives.

I was not human enough for someone so I became a messenger for someone else instead.

Life is too short to make choices caring for others but in spite of ourselves.

I have found that with the right people this always holds true: when you love you win. So, find them and love harder today.

Will I make or do enough to be remembered often or at least occasionally? What about you? Isn’t this enough reason to share your gift with the world?

I woke up to the sound of a woman’s scream followed by her uncontrollable sobs on Lufthansa LH 757 earlier today on my way to New York. Her husband was feeling very unwell and she was a mess.

I am home. This grief has led me to glory. And I am grateful. I am home. This grief has led me to glory. And I am grateful.

Longevity trumps resilience in the scheme of life so end things with grace so you can start new ones with vigor.

I am expecting the self-realization of harm, guilt and hypocrisy to occur in a person who has repeatedly proven herself incapable of it.

Grief has been your shadow this year but I have not seen you once shy away from it. I’m so glad you keep choosing courage and vulnerability over fear.

All my dreams and belief will not undo what was done to me. Is this what happens when you make a leap of faith and are proven wrong?

Steinbeck once told his son who had recently fallen in love, “And don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens - The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.”
