Why This Matters to Me

There are moments in life that quietly change everything.

Mine happened on a mountain bike trail at Silver Star Mountain in

Vernon, British Columbia

Years earlier, someone I once loved had tragically lost his life in a bear attack while

planting trees in Northern BC. So when a bear suddenly appeared on the path

in front of me, time stood still.

People say your life flashes before your eyes. Mine did.

Three thoughts came instantly:

How grateful I was to have worked from home and raised my boys.

Would I have truly made a difference in the lives of others?

And oddly enough…

“Oh my goodness… the mess in the house.”

(Yes — real life.) I discovered that day that life is short and it is NOT the things that are important. It is the people, the experiences and the love. Stuff is only stuff!

Thankfully, the bear was simply curious and moved on.

But I didn’t.

Something in me shifted.

On the drive home, tears filled my eyes as I pulled my green Dodge Caravan to the side of the road and sat quietly on the bumper.

And there, I created a mission statement for my life:

My life is far more important than I know. Whose life can I impact today?”

That moment changed everything.

It became the reason I care so deeply about helping others live healthier, fuller, more intentional lives.

Because life is precious.

And how we live it matters.
