I saw the story this week about the singer from America’s Got Talent, Jane Marczewski, known professionally as Nightbirde, who died at the age of 31 from cancer. I knew she had a small chance of beating the odds, but I was sad to hear the news. My father died when he was younger than me, and so did other family members. Why do I get to live this extraordinary life while others suffer illness and even die young? My life has not been without pain and trauma, yet I know that I am lucky. I have loved and been loved; raised three extraordinary daughters; traveled the world; wrote and published three books and am working on more, and I have had a rewarding career. Even if others don’t die young, why do so many others struggle in life and experience so much heartbreak, sorrow, and hardship? I usually sleep well, but these thoughts are keeping me up tonight. I know there are no answers to these questions, but I just wanted to express loud and strong how grateful I am for my life, lessons, and love. Thank you life.
