The acting community recently mourned the loss of beautiful actress and Broadway star, Natasha Richardson. In a matter of days, hours and fleeting moments- she was taken from her loved ones in the most tragic way. One second she was up and fine, then the next gone.
I got to thinking about how life is short and precious- and that no one is above God and destiny.
So many of us live our lives in fear and hate, until tragedy comes knocking at our doorstep- then the proverbial "light" turns on. We scurry to "live" life to its fullest, take risks, fear nothing and love harder.
But- why? I ask.
Why do we wait for some divine intervention- to wake up and see that we control that "light".
I have always been someone who believes you must love, live and be as much as you possibly can today...because tomorrow may never come.
If your life ended today- would you be happy with how you lived? Would there be something you wish you said- or wish you did?
Then- GO....DO IT!
Fear is irrelevant. Happiness is open for interpretation and you have....this precious gift- that must be used to its full potential. And, yes. Sometimes life is full of hard decisions, but if you don't make those decisions to be happy with your life- then whats the point. You are living for others and not yourself. Give love to others- but be selfish with your journey.
When the lights went out on Broadway last night. It was not only an homage to Natasha Richardson. But an homage to life- a reminder that it is precious and short...so go live!

People take life for granted because they don't know what they have until they encounter something that opens their eyes. I was the same way thinking that nothing bad could happen to me until one day it did. It was that moment in my life where I realized life is too short not to live it to its fullest. Thanks for reminding me what I have and what I have to look forward to what I want.
