Selected Life Lesson
Do not take for granted the people you love will be around forever — love the
ones you are with each and every day!

Richard’s Thoughts…
Love is a crazy, emotional thing. In my (little more than a) year here in New York City, I have been fortunate to meet some amazing people … people I count among my close friends. And as someone who keeps a pretty tight-knit clan, this is a blessing.

And I make sure to tell them what they mean to me. In fact, the other day I saw one of them having a rough day and I made a point that evening to send her a quick message. It wasn’t anything special, but it was a, ‘hey, I’m thinking about you,’ kind of message.

About a week later, I pulled her aside and we sat and talked about our lives for nearly half an hour. It was a surprise, but we have both decided to double-down on our dreams and make them happen. It is those moments, of vulnerability, of kindness, of love, where you see what someone means to you. Do what you will with the story … I hope you either forward this e-mail to that someone you’re thinking about, or quickly close this and go tell them now!
