Today for me is a day of reflection. It is the anniversary of my Sister’s passing away. So I have chosen two quotes that will help me go inside of myself, and make a connection with the love I hold for my sister. They also give me further  understanding of how her life shaped my destiny, and the determination I hold to become a coach, author, and speaker, providing the tools to make the difference to other people’s lives.

  ‘Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago - the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider…. It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled’. ~ Jane Mersky Leder  

I will always hold my sister’s memory close to my heart. I will not mourn her passing away, I will celebrate her life. I will give thanks to the impact she had on me her brother, and the journey her life allowed me to take.

  ‘She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities.  She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway.  She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark.  She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink.  Some days, she’s the reason you wish you were an only child’. ~ Barbara Alpert

To all those that have lost loved ones, your life must become a celebration of the life of the ones you lost. Allow their memory to drive you to make the most of your time, no longer let it keep you submerged. My sisters life meant something … and day by day I provide evidence of that. What can you do in your life?

‘ The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty’. ~ Anne Frank
