Sometimes life has its way with us. Sometimes it's painful. Most times we don't ask for it. Always there is a lesson to be learned.

It is a day, one day, to honor and respect "collectively" those friends and family who are no longer in the body but live on in memory.

When a loved one leaves this life, we don't want to let go, but what if there's a special way to hold on and let go. What an amazing gift.

Sometimes you cannot forgive. Some things are unforgiveable; but letting go, that is in the power of you. It has the power to set you free.

When you feel alone and vulnerable, and when your strength is gone remember that you are a gift to this world and it's your turn to be here.
