I snapped this photo on my iPhone about 1 hour after my Mom passed last Saturday. Leaving her bedside and heading outside with James he pointed up to the sky and told me to look up. We both felt that this was a gift from my Mom: her beautiful soul. While I was heartbroken of my Mom’s passing I realized that her beauty will live on forever. My Mom was a paragon of love in action. She loved deeply and was deeply loved. My MAPP experience has helped me learn the science behind what my Mom intuitively always knew and taught me: our loving relationships are the single most important factor to our well-being.
Beauty doesn’t die.
