A Moment's Notice
After a week of high profile celebrity deaths, ranging from the likes of comedy straight men to international icons and superstars, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by all of the tragedy.
Billy Mays, one of TV's most recognizable pitchmen died, this past Sunday. He was one of the hosts on the television reality show Pitchmen on the Discovery Channel.
Sources indicate that his wife found him in his bed and unresponsive when she tried to awaken him in their Tampa, FL home.
When I heard about these recent deaths, it really hit me hard. A great deal of reflection took place on my part as I began to evaluate how short life can be.
We could all leave this earth, without a moment's notice. So my suggestion is to live the days we do have on this earth boldly and without fear. It's one of the few real choices over which we actually have control.
