It’s been a while since we’ve been in touch via the blog, but we’ve been staying busy over here spreading the Lifeonaire message and….well……..being Lifeonaires, of course!  That being said, we intend to stay in touch and post more frequently so we can encourage and inspire you in your own quests to become a true Lifeonaires!

Time has flown and here we are–Easter weekend already!  For many of us this means an extra day or two out of the office or the boardroom or the classroom!  Maybe you are even planning a spring break trip with your family.  And, like many, you probably have a long list of things you’d like to accomplish during this “break”:  yard work, spring cleaning, catching up on that book you’ve been trying to read.

But, I would like to challenge you to just BE with your kids and family this weekend.  The leaves and dust and book will still be there in another week but the opportunities to make memories and spend time with those you love will be gone forever.  This piece from the late Erma Bombeck says it better than I ever could.  Bombeck had a great gift for writing about family life and once wrote this piece about what our lives might look like after our children are grown.  Here’s an excerpt.

You will prepare a perfect dinner with a salad that hasn’t had all the olives picked out and a cake with no finger traces in the icing and you’ll say, “Now this is a meal for company.” And you will eat it alone…

Go read her entire piece and then give your kids a big hug and plan to spend some quality, memory-making time with them this Easter weekend.   Many years from now when they are reminiscing happily about “Easter weekend 2010″, you’ll be glad you did!

Because HE lives,
