011: Life: #thirty6pt2M AHA!

    • Science

❤️💜 Today is Nov. 6, 2020. It is the 7th anniversary of my father's passing. My father taught me through his life, his choices in facing cancer, and how he approached death that we always have a choice. When I calculate the total number of minutes in my father's life it equals 36.2 million minutes. It is important for all of us to realize that life is fragile and finite. As Henry David Thoreau said, "I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily.." and that is what my father taught me, to realize that we need to live each moment and to savor life. This past week I was reminded of how precious life, love, and relationships are in life. I discovered all too well that when we make poor decisions it impacts those we care and love, and we cannot ever change those decisions. We only have one life. We need to live our best life. We need to be honest, open, free, and embrace love and light. In honor of my father, we are launching a movement to remind us of the importance of making each moment count. On social media please use the hashtag #thirty6pt2m to share, highlight, identify, and amplify examples of living in the moment, being present, and making each minute of life count. ❤️💜
