It has been awhile since my last entry. I have been traveling a lot, to five cities in a month actually. It has been a crazy whirlwind experience but I am very grateful to have the work. Throughout this month I have met some wonderful people and worked again with old friends.
When I woke up this morning and was getting ready for another trip, I was given some very sad news that a good friend of mine had passed away last night due to complications in surgery. I had known her for the past 12 years. And it is a shock to loose her. She was the kind of person you thought would be here forever.
She was an icon in her field and a mentor to so many. It was an honor to know her. She truly was an amazing and giving soul. And although she will be missed she will never be forgotten.
She has left a legacy of love behind that all of us who knew her are better people from it. She just had a way of touching people’s hearts and inspiring their minds. And she always found a way to lead with positive action never just with spoken words.
So today was a weird day as I had to travel still and did so with heavy thoughts. I beat the sun up in Denver and watched it set in New York City. And the thought that wouldn’t leave my mind was how quick the day had passed.
The day went so quick for me, as if it had never happened. How quickly time passes by us all some times. We trick ourselves into believing we have so much of it and then something happens and we remember we only have such a small precious amount of it until we are gone.
In light of this I especially want to tell all my family and friends how much I love them and although I am not with you in person, you are always in my thoughts. I feel that no matter how many times we say I love you in life, it is never enough. And I know that until I no longer can, I will continue to remind them how much they mean to me.
Jane, thank you for being such a wonderful friend and for teaching me the grace of how to inspire others with just a smile. I will miss you my friend and am only at peace knowing that heaven got another one of its angels back today.
Until next time,
Christy
