Embrace what life has to offer

Embrace life and all it has to offer. Learn to love and let go of the outcome. Be yourself, whoever you are. Let life take you away. Soaring to heights you never knew where possible. We are only here for a short time on this earth. Why insist on suffering through it? Love who you are enough to want what is best. You already hold the answers. You only have to bother to ask the questions. Don't get caught up in the details. Just enjoy this moment as the next is not guaranteed. 

Dying To Come Alive

On December 16, 2005 I died...

I was being operated on for tumors on my ovaries. During surgery, I died on the operating table. I felt myself leave the table. I floated to the ceiling. I could hear the doctors working on me, trying to revive me. I looked down and saw my body lying lifeless on the table.

I was at peace. No more worries or concerns. Life was over. I was very happy.
As I floated over my body, I knew I had to return. I knew my work was not complete. I heard the doctor yell “clear,” and knew it would only be a matter of time before I was again in my body.
The second time the doctor yelled “clear,” I returned to the table...

Those few seconds changed my life. It became clear that the life I had known was no longer possible. I had to begin to live my life; not for those around me, but for myself.

For better or worse, I would be different...
