Write everyday was the message I received from my father for more than five years. Joe would deliver the words and I refused to listen. My father committed suicide years earlier and in the aftermath left a trail of guilt, depression, emptiness, and the inability to live my own life. Another failed marriage, a bankrupt business and I suddenly heard my father's plea and began the journey of not only writing everyday but sharing with the world on facebook. A Little Lift is the collection of my daily writing and brings you on my journey to acceptance, humility, joy and then finally the strength needed to meet each and every day head on. A Little Lift - Letting Go is from the Writing to Live collection of daily inspirations to let you know that no matter what life delivers you are never alone. I listened and I began the journey of a lifetime and I hope you join me through the highs and the lows and learn as I did that we were born to live each and every moment as a gift not a sacrifice.
