A great friend passed away recently. This week started with her memorial service. It was heartbreaking. I cried off and on for two hours. But, as people shared stories of how their lives were brightened by my friend’s thoughtfulness, care, and friendship, I was reminded of how much good one person can bring into the world. She believed in radical kindness and selfless generosity and truly lived it in daily life. So, despite this being a terrible situation, I am grateful for the reminder that I can follow her example. Now to go and make it happen, one day at a time.
A silver lining of sorts…

Sorry for your loss. But hey, it’s great when people we cherish leave behind something for us, like she did.
