You've cried at weddings, right? At the birth of a baby? And, of course, you've probably cried at funerals, but have you ever stopped to wonder why both happy and sad events, make you so emotional? Even worse, do you often feel like you're the only one? I will impart wisdom gleaned from professional conferences, seminars, books and articles and/or I will blog my personal thoughts. Either way, I hope you check in often, so you know that your tears are never shed in a vacuum!

IF YOU HAD ONLY ONE YEAR TO LIVE.......
What would you do? Most of us don't live a conscious life. We get swept up in the busyness of life, especially now with all the latest and greatest technology. Heck, we don't even LOOK at the person sitting across from us, because we are on our cell phones, communicating with someone we are NOT with! And because of this, we are not really present in our own lives! "How easily we lose contact with our life long before we die." Stephen Levine

I love educating others, as well as learning from them, about life's little and big, happy and sad losses: marriage, divorce, moving away, losing one's health, aging gracefully.....or not......death of a loved one, a pet, a dream, children growing up and parents having to let go, etc. etc. Hopefully, you get the picture. Let's laugh, cry and learn together!
