I am sharing this nugget with my mom and a reminder to myself, to live this life I get the opportunity to wake up everyday too. So, I'm going to look forward to planning my days and weekend differently.
Great post - I really enjoyed reading it. Fear is good but not when it is in the driver’s seat. Living in the present is the only moment we ever have to ourselves to grow, make decisions, heal, and be there for our loved ones.
Thank You so much for this ❤️ Nedra. I’ve been going through ‘hell on earth’ since September 2022. Your writings speak wisdom to my soul and I truly appreciate the great example of turning your thoughts from ‘I’m going to die one day’ to ‘yeah, but today I’m going to LIVE!’
Thank you for this post. I am happy I discovered your substack writings and I enjoy receiving updates to your newsletters. I also enjoy the open collaborative exchange on ideas from others who post comments. In this one I especially like Katie Jesionowiski posting below about the new book Good Life. I'm now reading it on my iPad and find myself mentally saying "wow" ever so often as I read.
“I create content prolifically because i don’t want to die with anything inside of me”. Mam that is a whole word said so perfectly! As someone who has so much inside but experienced trauma loss and grief- it sat. It’s time I create again.. thank you.
Get it out!!! We cannot die with the best of us left inside. Do all the things--wear the nice outfit, eat on the special occasion china, create and more.
I spent five hours at an online seminar yesterday and they asked us to write down what we wanted to get from the experience. While I got a few 'nuggets' of wisdom, what I wrote down at the start of the seminar was 'I want to LIVE FULLY'...then this morning your newsletter arrived in my inbox with some real wisdom. Thank you!
I really enjoy your newsletters and so often it feels as if you are speaking directly to me. I’ve struggled with this fear heavily in the last 2-3 years especially. I often say life is peculiar. As far as we know we didn’t decide to be here and our ending is often not our choice. Thank you for this and all of your future work.
Love love love this. Thanks for talking about death.

I pray this will encourage others to talk about death. Because it will happen to everyone
Love these examples of goals and lists... thank you!
LIVING is top of mind for me right now. Life is time and what we do (or don't) with it.
You are living out loud for so many of us to be inspired by. We thank you!

Great post. I'm reading The Good Life, a summary of the 84-year Harvard Happiness study that supports so much of what you write in this article.

I want to say "wow" like David T. I'm adding this to my reading list. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you for this Nedra. I really needed this today ❤️

Hearing the same thing two days in a row is a sign to LIVE.

Letting the "dying" part of life keep us "living" is its sort of death.
