The Gift!

The recent death of Amy Winehouse is tragic.  Fan or not, we all have something in common with the talented, award winning singer; being human.  Being human means we will have our hills and valleys in life to face.  All of us have a talent or a gift to give.  The gift is you!  Being your best (not perfect) means accepting what you are good at and not so good at, what you like and don't like, and presenting to the world your authentic self.  Particularly during difficult times it is important to remember you are not just your career.  Your value is not based on your bank account.  There is more you can offer to those you encounter who are on loan to you for a long time or brief moment.  Regardless of how long the journey in life will be, share the greatest gift you have while you can; you!
