Living Like a Loved One; A Journey of Healing

I invite you to follow my day to day discoveries as I begin Living Like a Loved One, I lost my Uncle to cancer a year ago in late September. It's been a challenging healing process for the entire family, and I've decided that it doesn't have to be that difficult. During the next year, I will take the most special memories of my Uncle and bring them back to a reality in my day to day life. I hope this brings comfort and enlightenment to all who subscribe.

Opportunity - Day 109 of 365

This post is for January 14, 2011

MEMORY -

Peter was a man of opportunity. If opportunity presented itself, he wouldn't waste anytime taking it. Opportunity to leave Chicago and move to Orlando, he took it. Opportunity to take an unforgettable trip to Italy, he took it. Opportunity to die peacefully at his home around family and friends, he took it. When opportunity knocked ....Peter answered, in the good and scariest of time.

APPLICATION -

An opportunity presented itself today and I had two options. Take it or leave it. First instinct was to leave it, satisfying the fear I had inside. After much thought, my heart moved me away from fear and closer to opportunity, taking on the challenging task at hand opening up a world of opportunity.

REFLECTION -

Looking back on the day, I couldn't imagine it without opportunity.
