Patti Digh

Koren — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:45:00 +0000

What would you do today if you only had 37 days to live?

My guest Patti Digh asked herself that 38 days after her step-father was diagnosed with cancer.

He had passed away on the 37th day.

The experience of those 37 days lead her to create a body of work where Patti wanted to write everything down she wanted to remember and everything that she wanted her kids to know about her. She wanted her kids to know she was a human person full of fears and vulnerabilities, successes and the things she was proud of. As well as things that she has failed at.

Her blog 37days.com was a way to tell her story. Stories from her life to her children.

She also did not want to be told that tomorrow is day 1 and have regrets. She lives by “this is exactly the life I wanted to live.”

Patti is an author, speaker and mother. She has written 6 books including best sellers Life is a Verb and Creative is a Verb.

Patti and I discussed

how this experience helped her get clear in her life
the three questions that Patti uses to help her measure her success
there’s no royal road (find out what it is)
finding the extraordinary in the ordinary
The takeaway – two things you can do to practice living extraordinary in the ordinary of your own life.
