April Crossley – Life Should be an Experience

April and I have been friends on Facebook for several years, but have only really started to get to know one another last year when we found out that we were both getting ready to ditch the life that our society says that we should be living.

One day after work, during a conversation in the pool, Shar said, “Let’s take a year to volunteer,” and the “A Year to Volunteer” project was born.

Learning to Come to Grips with my Terminal Illness

It’s only human for us to take those things and people that we hold near and dear to us for granted.  Would we approach our moments with those that we love differently if we really considered that the moment that we have with them, right here, right now, is the only moment that we are guaranteed with them?  Would we choose our words more wisely?  Would we hug them a little tighter, a little longer when we say, “So long,” “See you down the road,” or “Good-Bye?”
