“Giving is the shortest distance to becoming most alive.”
– Steve G.
This week’s column highlights a short audio file and a 2nd essay from the “This I Believe” series (you can listen or read using the links below) by author Isabel Allende. It focuses on two key Upside to the Downturn principles: building resilience and making a difference in the lives of others.
Allende’s busy life was forever changed when her adult daughter Paula became seriously ill in the early 1990’s and did not recover from a coma. The author shares the insights and life lessons that became clear to her through the journey of taking care of Paula during her illness, grieving her death, and adjusting to life without her.
Her personal message of discovering the essence of love and the purpose of giving is powerful.
