I’m just so grateful to see another day when I wake up each morning so to be blessed with seeing 40 years, I can only thank God for all the lessons, experiences, accomplishments, and the beautiful souls and people embraced throughout my life.

Over 3 years ago I first heard “When It’s All Over” by Alicia Keys and to this day it still moves me to tears when I think of all the people who have touched my life in such profound ways.  I often reflect on how I’ve had this gift of life to LOVE those with whom I’m blessed to share it with. Since then I wanted to capture and continue to cherishing those moments.  In reflecting over the last 40 years, there’s no time like the present.

Tomorrow’s not promised and…
“When they lay me down, put my soul to rest
When they ask me how I spent my life
At least I got to love you, when it’s all over..”

This doesn’t capture nearly everyone so I seriously need to spend more time with some and take photos and videos with them. But to all my family, friends, all those who’ve touched my life know how much I love you and am truly blessed at how you’ve loved me through the years.

And as inspiration to anyone reading this, take time to just say “I love you” or call or send a text to express your love. Or be creative in whatever fashion you see fit to express your love to those that may not know how much they mean to you, especially those who you may not have reached out to in a while and may feel forgotten.

Grateful for having moments in time..in life to simply share, give, be LOVE.
