Time Is Currency

What if someone told you that you only have 24 hours to live? Imagine all the things that you would become aware of not getting to in this lifetime. My post is not meant to scare you or to make you sad, but rather to bring awareness to truly how blessed we are to have every single moment.

The universe has been nudging me recently as my life has been in constant forward motion since well before Thanksgiving. One thing into another cruising along always evaluating that balance in it all. Today, I sent my mom off on an airplane back to Oregon after a two-week visit with us. Out of my routine and distracted by our busyness, each day not doing much but then again doing a lot. I returned home and looked at the chair that was her favorite while visiting and in a moment the universe this time instead of a nudge gave me a giant shove! My heart was full and at the same time sad because I know that at some point in the nearer future she will be unable to make that big trip out to see her Pennsylvania family. And at that moment as has been the case this past year for me especially, I once again became so aware of how precious our time is and how important it is to spend it wisely and with intention.

We may have tomorrow, but the simple truth is, we may not, so let’s live this life. Be kind to each other, love and support one another and value even the simple things in those little moments. They all add up to a life well-lived and time well spent!


Live Well XO,
