Yes, your heart is beating, youre walking the paces, but are you truly ALIVE or just caught in the rat race? Yes, we live in one of the best and most cultural places in the world, but many of us dont leave time in our schedules to enjoy our beautiful surroundings. Instead of being really ALIVE we commute, get caught up in our on demand lifestyles, including cell phone, fax, and email, become slaves to our businesses and careers, and have little time left for what is most precious. Time to relax and enjoy the people that mean the most to us.

Life is Short. We have to LIVE now! We get so caught up that we forget our lives can change in the blink of an eye. Everything is perfect, you have your health, a beautiful home, family and in the next second your world is turned upside down.

I learned that all too well in my late 20s when I broke my back in a serious automobile accident. In a split second my body went from that of a healthy young women to that of an invalid. I suddenly had to be bathed, turned in bed and helped in the restroom. There was no longer room for modesty in this modest girls life. I have suffered with back and abdominal pain since, but believe I was given a special gift. A gift of wisdom many seek through their entire lives to understand.

All too often we hear stories of people on their death bed making amends with family members, wishing they would have spent more time with loved ones and less time at the office, and wondering if they had only taken better care of their health, sadly it is too late. Yet, we continue our fast paced, overworked bay area lifestyles, after all we have plenty of time, right?

As a Life Coach I have had the pleasure to work with many people that would say no. People that have battled cancer, lost children and other loved ones; all do what they can each day to live a happy life on their terms. Through my personal experience and coaching others I would agree. Get started towards your goals today, for we dont know what tomorrow holds. Make time for what is most important to you right now.

Life is valuable and short and can be taken away from us at any second. The time to be happy is right now, the time to tell your friends and family you care is right now, the time to take care of yourself is right now, I genuinely hope you can learn through my experience to start improving on your life today. Remember, your life can change in the blink of an eye.
