“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
—- H.Jackson Browne’s mother

Love this quote. It is so true I can look back and now regret some of the things I didn’t do in my twenties and trying to teach my kids to “go for it”.
I am glad the quote resonated with you. Thanks for letting me know.
Great quote! Xo
Thanks, Ayala!
Ah yes, when we step boldly, bravely and joyfully into our full being and really live? Not just exist? These are, indeed, the moments we don’t regret.
Yes, Barbara, there is a palpable distinction between merely existing and living.
