It's not about the money!!! It's certainly not about the stuff. The resume. The car. The wardrobe. The diamonds. The status. The fancy house. It's about the air. The one thing that we all literally share and breathe in each and every moment - without thought.
I recently learned about a lung disease called Pulmonary Fibrosis and out of deep respect for the incredible human being afflicted and his family I will not mention names. This is a disease where there is no cure and takes away the one that thing that is so automatic, so natural and taken for granted - which money can't buy, at least not for long.
So what is it all about? The air, the air that we breathe. So breathe deep, cherish the moment and the next one and the next one. Expand, breathe in all that we can hold. Breathe out compassion, love and understanding in all that we do and to all those that we meet.
And for anyone who is reading this today or tomorrow, please take a moment to breathe and when you exhale, please send that breathe to him and his family and take a few more and send it to whomever or wherever it is needed.
With much gratitude, love and a deep breath - Lori
