Patti Digh was my first guest and final guest for 2012. Patti and I wrapped up 2012 in this interview. For those of you new to Patti she is writer, a speaker and a mom. Her work opens space for people to say a big “YES: to their lives – before its’s too late.
You see in 2003 Patti Digh’s entire life changed. Her stepfather was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died 37 days later. That experience lead Patti to a renewed commitment to ask herself every morning: “what would I be doing today if I only had 37 days to live?” Patti is the author of several books including best seller Life is a Verb.
As she mentioned in the previous interview, she asks herself these questions as she shapes her life:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?
Did you make a difference?
In this interview we discuss:
- Intention Driven vs Circumstance Driven
- Control – her daughter’s diagnosis with Aspergers and her husband’s unexpected cancer diagnosis
