If you had 5 minutes to transmit what being alive means to you, what would you say? We are asking people from all walks of life to share the distilled wisdom they gained in the school of human existence, the personal lessons they learned on the journey through life.

First of all thanks for asking.
Being alive for me is recognizing and letting my Self be moved by the Life within me that calls me to love my God, be compassionate towards myself and love all created beings. I feel that my call into life was not limited to a certain instant 70 years ago, but is and has been an ongoing awesome gift that is The Journey. I once told a friend that when I die the traditional obituary dates will have to read "1944 - into eternity"! Claudette
