  2. Oh my gosh, so wonderful. It's like having my life, and everyone's lives, flash before my lives. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.

  3. Oops, I meant, flash before my *eyes.* But "lives" sort of works, too!

  14. PS~you crack me up.

    I must give credit where credit is due…and, you are right! I owe you big time!! Keep that in mind when we are knee deep in renovations and I am pulling all my hair out. 🙂

  15. Cam,
    Did you see I had everybody waiting with you under "Wait" in the giveaway post below? We had the whole universe tapping its toe! And as for pulling your hair out, trust me, I highly recommend just shaving it.

  16. This four-minute video taught me something about "being present" that no book, or even person, ever has. All week, I've been seeing differently, newly. Something about how "being present" isn't something I have to do, to somehow "get into" more fully. It's simply all around. I guess I am having one of those dawning epiphany experiences where you suddenly "get" something so damn simple and obvious, like the sun going down and coming up again the next day.

  21. Although those 4 minutes have left me with a lump in my throat and a longing for something "more" – for each of us, every day …although the thoughts of all the lost moments and forgotten moments and squandered moments makes my heart ache … still … thank you for sharing this. We can never be reminded too often about how precious each moment is.
