Positivity TM
Power
Last week after my daylong life-balance
seminar in Kentucky, a gracious and grateful woman took my hand. She was
about my age (that's young!), yet she said her husband had just been
diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. As she faced this illness - where she
will lose him twice - she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said,
"We're lucky. We have a chance to say and do what we haven't said and done
yet." Now I had tears. I had reinforced all day the importance of truly
living our priorities, and this courageous woman showed me
how.
With Mother's Day just past and Father's Day
approaching, it's a great time to do what this wise nurse taught us - say
and do what we haven't said and done yet. While many greeting cards
eloquently express our thoughts in someone else's words, there is no
substitute for our own. So make that phone call or pen that letter ( no
emails or Word documents, please!) and tell the moms and dads in your life
how you feel - and thank them. Our parents may not have done everything
right, but they did their best based on who they were and what they knew
then. I'm guessing some would like "do-overs" in some areas - wouldn't we
all.

Lessons
from LeAnn
Often in our busy world, miles and sometimes
even memories, separate us from the people we love. Take time now to tell
them - show them - how you feel.
My latest book Chicken Soup
for the Father & Daughter Soul just hit the stands. It inspires dads
and daughters to embrace these stories and each other, evoking their own
memories and deepening their love - proving, none can liken that of a
daddy and his "little girl." If you'd like a signed copy for your
dad, or your children's dad, or for your daughter, then click the link
below. On the first page of the book, I'll sign a personalized note, and
there's a place for you to sign yours. Now that's living your
priorities!
While you're on my web site you can read and share
