For Crystal

I don’t even know her… and yet I do. Her name is Crystal Violante. I met her for the first time today through a friend who sent me to her blog. At age 31, her life on this earth is now complete. Her final words Things I’ve learned are so real that I must share. I am breathless.

I notice how these stories are flowing to me to share with you… teaching us to live fully, to love without limits, to never wait for ’some day’. Do we hear? Do we really truly hear this?

It’s quite timely actually. In my morning pages a week ago, I found myself writing ‘My last words’. Some were deeply personal and profound, others light and quirky almost. Don’t ask me why I’m writing about my last words. That’s just what showed up. Is my time on this earth limited? We never know, do we? That’s the thing. We never truly know. My friend said it so well, “I find myself asking God for less and less and giving more and more thanks for what I have.”

Today’s candle is for you Crystal. Welcome home kid. I’m glad you found your way… I send much love & light to your family and friends.
