In the darkness..

try to shed a little light.

When you start hiding things away, that’s when the darkness creeps up. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

This week’s events hit a little too close to home for me.

 While I certainly had no immediate connection to either Anthony Bourdain or Kate Spade other than reading his books or carrying her handbag, their suicides did get me thinking about my own brother who many years ago, chose the same path.

Starting today, there is never a better time to start listening to people.

When you ask how are you…really listen to the response.

If someone bites your head off and it doesn’t exactly connect with the situation…look a little deeper.

A little compassion goes a long way and as one of those people who can lock up internal struggles very well, just know that your actions can make a difference.

Happy birthday, Trevor. 

I hope that you know how much you are loved and missed.

  2. Oh Sheryl, you are such a beaming light of positivity! I had no idea about your brother, so I thank you for sharing this (and with such a poignant image). Know that no human travels through life without pain; how you have chosen to bear yours is inspirational.
