Diary Detours: Life is a fleeting gift...cherish it

  • Summary

  • How often do you allow yourself to pause and think about how fragile life really is — how easily we slip into routines, forgetting how precious each moment might be?

    In this episode of Diary Detours, I’m reflecting on the recent passing of two family members and sharing a journal entry I wrote in the middle of that grief. It’s a reminder of how fleeting life can be—and how we can choose to live more intentionally while we have the chance.
