Gonna keep this as light as possible.
I’m dedicating this episode to my gratitude partner and dear friend, Diana. She was my most active listener from the beginning. And she was so proud of me and encouraged me every day. For the last 7 years or so we shared with each other one thing we were grateful for every day before we went to bed. Unfortunately, she passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago. Today is her birthday so I’m choosing to share something positive rather than sit around feeling sad.
I learned a lot from this experience, of losing someone you think you’ll be creating so many more memories with. So on this episode I’m sharing about the importance of not putting things off. If you love someone make sure they know it. Don’t assume. Say the words. If you are planning to catch up with someone, make that call, send that text, shoot them that email. The one thing that people always say in situations like this is, “I thought I’d have more time.” So with this episode, I’m trying to ensure you utilize the present.
My intention in sharing this episode is to simply offer you the opportunity to learn from my experiences and be more intentional in your relationships. I do not feel like this episode is heavy. And I do want you to protect your energy. If death is not a concept you can handle right now maybe circle back on this episode later. If you’re unsure about this one, I recommend that you press play, listen for 5 minutes, and then you’ll have a good idea of the tone.
Thank you for being here. I hope you gain a lot from this episode. Sending you much love.
Blessings,

I have good news. 🥹
My new book, What’s Your V.I.B.E. is now available for purchase. This project is one that Diana was looking forward to me completing. Late last night, I finally got the nerve to check out the proof I received in the mail days ago. I had just received the notification on my phone reminding me that today is her birthday. When I opened the packaging I was so nervous. I’ve edited it twice. And I am very happy with the results. I love it. So I decided to release it today in honor of her birthday. So I’ll always have a good memory on this day.
It’s available now on Lulu.com. Learn more about it below.
