For the past couple of weeks, my writing came to a stop. It’s been a crazy couple weeks as we’ve been present for my Mom, who suffered a stroke and passed away a week later.

As with any such life event, it gave me a reason to reflect on my own life. Do I love what I’m doing and where I’m going? Am I living according to my values and beliefs? Do I surround myself with people who inspire me to be the best I can be?

You only get one chance at life, don’t waste it doing or being something which doesn’t give you joy and fulfillment. Don’t wait for a life event to ask yourself such questions. I know I’m not waiting for the next one to ask them again.

You’ve got this.
