Catalyst One Hundred and Twenty-Three is: Is there something about someone that you’ve always wanted to know but have never asked?
Thoughts:
A few years ago, I took this amazing class that completely transformed my life. Shortly after, I was back home in Turkey and I was telling my family about the class. My grandmother listened intently and said she wished she’d taken the class and that she had some big regrets about her life. I remember making a mental note to follow up with her, at the time. But I never did. And, this last winter, I lost my grandmother. So now I will never get to ask. So I wanted to make my art be a reminder that you should always ask. Right now. Do not put it off. Do not assume. Ask.
YOu need to make this a free download, Karen! The thought, the design, the whole thing is glorious!
So true Karen!
And be prepared~ you may not like the answer. Or the answer may be something so unbelievably shocking. You need to ask. The answer can change you.
I so agree. I learned this the hard way with my dad, who has Alzheimer’s. There is so much about his life I don’t know. BUT, there’s also this: He NEVER wanted to talk about his life, even when we did ask. So I’ve also learned that we have to be willing to talk about ourselves. Even without being asked. One day, someone will be glad we did!
that’s a great point!! a good reason to scrap “myself” too 🙂
Yes, this is awesome. I can relate so much. As I went through my Grandmother’s things, so many questions came up and with her Alzheimer’s it is too late now. They do remember music better though. I didn’t have children until after my Mom died. It wasn’t relevant then, but wow it is now. Good post!
thank you so much for your kind words Tasha!
