Living Well

Kimi and Erica discuss last week's episode with death doula Diane Button, which they can't stop thinking about!  Both confess to having an endless fascination (ok, borderline obsession) with the wisdom and knowledge that people share when they know the end is near.

Diane's message is more about living well than dying well. Her dying clients are called "the wisdom keepers" and she shares their greatest joys and regrets. Simple moments bring joy – the quiet of the morning, conversations at the kitchen table, dog snuggles. The most precious moments in our lives will be found (and remembered) in the simplest of things.  

Slow down or "pause" as she says to breathe in this one life you've got. What you do every day, how you behave, and how you interact with others will ultimately define how you are remembered. 

Treating everyone with kindness and respect is a sure path to being remembered and honored for all the good you created during your time on earth. 

Your challenge: 

  1. Think about how you want to be remembered and take one small action aligned with that?

  2. Tell someone you care deeply about what they mean to you and how you will remember them.
