January 26, 2013 marks a significant day for me. It is the first anniversary of my Mother-in-Law’s death, and the fourth anniversary of my Mother’s death. That’s right – the two women who had the biggest impact on my life died on the same day. It would be easy to turn inward and forever dread such a sad day. Instead, I decided to turn January 26 into a celebration of their lives, and a chance to honor all of the good things they did for others during their time on this earth.
As many of you know, I decided to write a book to share some of the life lessons that have helped me create a full and satisfying life, in the hopes that others would be inspired and enabled to be more intentional in creating full lives for themselves.
So, to honor these two women, Glorya Hornell and Sallie Andresen, I’ve chosen to make January 26, 2013 the day that my book, Good Things for a Full Life, launches. Many of the lessons in the book come from these two extraordinary women, and through the book, they will live on and inspire others as they inspired me. Please join me in honoring their legacies by living purposefully and joyfully every day.
