[...] Last night before I went to bed, I powered up my My Yahoo! and took a look at the recent posts to the blogs I follow. One post specifically caught my attention–blew my sock off, actually. Let me tell you about it. [...]

Craig! Wow! I remember when my father died, how all of the “stuff” of life seemed so trivial in comparison with the last few hours of his life. But it’s not always the sadness of death that makes us wake up and see our beautiful and loving world for what it really is. Two years before my father died, my children were born. I remember waking up the next morning thinking “I’m a daddy!” Although my father’s death taught me (again) what’s really important (love and family), it was my children’s birth that finally explained life to me, that finally allowed me to become me. Sorry for the long comment, but your post really struck a nerve. Now I know what I’m writing about tomorrow! God Speed!

Dylan, I like your views on revenue and relationships. Did you blog about it?

I had a wise friend once tell me “As soon as you make the revenue in a relationship more important than the relationship, you begin to destroy it.”

I really like that, and think of it often with regards to my husband – if he’s not doing something (or doing something) and it starts to become so important to me that I neglect US, I notice and make changes in my own attitude.

I also use this idea with my clients – if they are stressing about what to do with their baby, but forgetting about the BABY, I gently help bring into focus the most important aspect – their relationship.

Thanks for this pieces. Beautiful.

Wendy, what an amazing story.
Craig is absolutely right. We do lose sight of what is important in life.
Thank you for sharing this great article.
Like you, Craig has an awesome writing style and a fantastic blog.

Sorry Wendy, I already read this over at Craig’s site. Enjoyed it never the less and will be hosting it in Sunday’s Personal Development Carnival.

Great post!

In reference to the girl and her mother, I once heard someone say that to not forgive someone is like poisoning yourself. How right he was. Funny how some people will live in daily anger towards another person as if they are “paying them back” while, in most cases, the other person has put the situation out of sight and out of mind and went on with his life.

A case of “cherish what is dear to you while it’s near to you… dont wait til it’s gone”. As is human nature; we’re reminded of it on those occasions when it smacks us in the face

Thanx for the reminder; since I started out with a “stressed type” feeling with all the “stuff” that needs to be done today… cherish who i come into contact with today… All there is is now.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled innkeeping Thanx for the wake up call
