I’ve been hesitant about making new friends lately, for good reason, after bad experiences with close friends, but Diann Bond and I slowly started to get to know each other - having coffee and exchanging messages. She was so excited to spend a month in Bali, a change from her original plan to go to Japan, to spend time recharging and reconnecting as she was close to burnout as a small business owner. Something I could relate to. She sent me updates along her way and had bought me gifts to bring home. Now, she’s not coming home. She passed tragically and I’m heart broken. Heartbroken that her boys and daughter lost their mom. She was really getting into yoga and breath work and wanted to find a yoga teacher training to complete while she was in Bali. What I knew of her, was a kind and vibrant woman who worked hard and loved her family.
Hug your people. Tell them you love them. This life is short and fragile. Don’t take it for granted. Even just a little.
We will be honoring her this Saturday in my class. Please wear green, gold or red - some of her favorite colors.
