In light of the 9 recent, tragic deaths I have been searching my heart to think of what to do with all of the feelings that I am having about these folks who were mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, friends and most of all humans on this earth that left way too soon.
This is not about basketball ..... this is about life and telling people we love how much they mean to us WHILE THEY ARE HERE ON EARTH. So many times after someone dies, there is a HUGE outpouring of love for them, videos and photos posted, stories shared about the wonderful things the person did and the wonderful qualities they had, etc. Why do we wait until after they have died to let them know just what they meant to us?
I challenge everyone to start a movement ..... Celebrate YOUR 9. Think of 9 people in your life (heck choose 12 people - 1 per month; there is still time for January, or more) and show them genuine love, let them know how you truly feel about them by sending them a heartfelt letter or email, sharing those amazing stories you have with them, celebrate the good that is in this world, etc. Don't wait until after they leave this earth to share what they mean to you. In remembrance of all those lost this past Monday, I challenge you all to celebrate life and love right now (before they (or you) leave this world). Celebrate Your 9 ....
