It's my Book Birthday for #EverythingHappens today! One year of sharing words that shape my life. I want to take this opportunity to thank other people who have crafted words that help us all live and breathe and die.
From the unforgettable @erfinchie from @GreysABC:
“Instead of saying that someone we love is battling, beating, fighting, winning, or losing, why don’t we just tell the truth?
We get sick. We take our medicine. Some of us live. Some die.”

From the unstoppable @GlennonDoyle from @togetherrising:
"Grief is love's souvenir. It's our proof that we once loved."

From the bravest of us all, @rocketgirlmd:
"I told Paul that I was worried that having a baby would make dying harder for him.
And then he said: "Wouldn't it be great if it did?""

From the untamed @CherylStrayed at @dearsugars:
“The story of human intimacy is one of constantly allowing ourselves to see those we love most deeply in a new, more fractured light. Look hard. Risk that.”

From the erudite @Atul_Gawande:
“Our ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death but a good life to the very end.”
“Our ultimate goal, after all, is not a good death but a good life to the very end.”
Who else gave you new words to steer your life? What did they say? WE LOVE YOU, WORDSMITHS!
