I met Dickie in college…she has the perfect mix of creativity, energy, passion, and strength… Her awesome blog reminds me take a moment each day to appreciate the little things in life that can bring joy. I love how she gets a high from someone flipping a penny on the ground from tails to heads…for someone else to find it heads up and from witnessing someone walk down the street, alone, with a smile on their face. I saw Dickie the other day and she told me about one of her closest friends that recently died. I admire her strength and the way she shares with us the way that Matt impacted her life. Dickie wrote about Matt on her blog:
“Matt signed all his emails and letters with live well, laugh often, love much. It was more than a closing, more than just a motto. It was how he lived. Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin this post, I already know I will not do Matt justice. All I really know, is that he came into my life for a reason– and luckily, I figured that out the moment I met him, not the moment he died. Matt used to say, “lose the morning, lose the day”. He made the most of every day– and truthfully, I’m not sure he would have any regrets about his life…How many of us could say that? I, am certainly not one of them, yet.”
Dickie asked me to design a necklace with three discs symbolizing the way that Matt signed all his e-mails and letters. I wanted to share it with you…
