I had a great post all planned but then I got some very sad news and it’s all I can think about.

I’m not going to go into a long diatribe or say very much tonight. I was on Facebook tonight and saw a post by a friend about another friend who lost her life this weekend. She was visiting friends, fell down a flight of stairs and never regained consciousness. I do want to tell you a little about her.

She has been an educator for 13 years and an assistant principal for the past five years. She was a joy to everyone who knew her, was a great influence to her students and had an infectious smile. I know people who taught with her and said she was a great teacher.

I met her about 7 or 8 years ago at a party, we used to laugh remembering that party, it was a redneck party and we met over a drunken watermelon, she said I did a great job! Later, when I got into direct sales, she became a great hostess and a friend when we would get to see each other and catch up. She was very happily married and has two amazing little boys that she dotted on. I remember when she was pregnant with both boys, soooo excited! And what a great mom, 36 is way too young.

Thank you for listening and if you could send some good vibes to her family and maybe a virtual hug to me, I would be so appreciative. My life is better just for having known her.
