“Let me tell you, there is no other way than to live like this –
Love with abandon
Laugh uncontrollably
Write your heart out
Dance in the rain (try it!)
Sit and try hatching ideas
Fall madly in love with someone
Move to the drumbeats of your heart
Feel the earth beneath your bare feet
Go cloud watching, star gazing and moonbaths
Have walks along the beach during sunset or sunrise Overnight with fireflies, savor the evening breeze
Find at least one snowflake or a miracle
Excite your senses, taste everything
Indulge in higher pleasures
Smell the morning mist
Travel. Travel. Travel.
Take a leap of faith
Live with Passion
Bare your soul
Why not?
Be bold
Revel
LIVE”

I didn’t want to write these pages until there were no hard feelings, no sharp ones. I do not have that luxury. I am sad and angry and I want everyone to be alive again. I want more landmarks, less landmines. I want to be grateful but I’m having a hard time with it.”
