I’ve always loved this quote but to be honest I had to look who wrote it. It’s Wayne Dyer, one of the great men we lost last year. I had the honour of hearing him speak live on several occasions and he was a huge inspiration to me.
When my daughter, Justine was killed in a car accident, I immediately began writing stories I remembered about her life. I truly felt I had to get her life down. Death had deeply affected me and I didn’t want to die with Justine’s story inside me. I wrote a whole book so her story would not die.
I’m entering this quote in Writer’s Quote Wednesday and #BEWOW. To see more or enter click here.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned this but my sister-in-law is Dutch. Her parents were born in Holland. Her name is Karena. My step-father was also born in Holland.

I didn’t realize Dr. Dyer had passed. Thanks for the update. His book, “Your Erroneous Zones” started me on my road to mental health. I’ll always be grateful to him for that!

RIP Wayne Dyer. he was an amazing man and amazing story teller.So insightful.So full of quotes. His scurvy elephant story is simply revealing to his true nature. It will bring tears to your eyes again. And a major shift in awareness. His spirit is still speaking to us.
