Live life to the fullest!
That mantra has special meaning for me. Before my aortic dissection in 2011, I was a physically active and fit 49-year-old photographer. I was living my best life. My husband was supportive of my move from corporate to self-employment. We were travelling, taking amazing photo trips. The dissection and open-heart surgeries put an end to that. I was greatly restricted to what I could do. I couldn’t carry my equipment on my shoulders or around my neck.And back then, the digital equipment was pretty heavy, especially the lenses.
Mired in self-pity and depression, I struggled to find my way.After one of the surgeries, I lost my voice and talking was a physically exhausting effort.And many of my choices for earning my keep fell away.
I had surgery to repair my voice. It was successful, but I aspirated, got pneumonia, and over the next five months, my body kept trying to kill me. I almost died at least twice. I DID die once.
I was 54 at the time. Once I got home, my whole personality had changed. I went from being outgoing, sure of myself, loved feeding off the energy of a crowd, to wanting to be at home with just me and my husband. I could talk but didn’t want to.
And then over a four-year period I lost five family members: my brother, my husband, sister-in-law, father-in-law, and my dad.

And this past year my mom.I completely shut down. Then my heart sister moved in after her divorce, and instead of being alone on my couch, she was helping me get out and about again.
During that time, I was physically struggling. I assumed it was because I had spent all that time feeling sorry for myself, I let myself get out of shape. I was down to 109 pounds (at 5’8”, I felt like a walking skeleton).
I found out that my aortic valve was not working, and I needed surgery to replace it.And believe it or not, that completely revitalized me! There was actually something physically wrong with me that could be corrected.
I was OVERJOYED!
Even before I had the surgery, I started living again. I went on a girls’ trip to Mexico where I went ziplining, atving, and just enjoyed being alive.
After the surgery, I felt better than I had since before the dissection. I got those 12 years back in how I felt, both mentally and physically! And now, I make the most of every moment of every day.
I am full in on WHATEVER activity I’m doing. Whether it’s lunch with friends, time with my family, or creating content for my business.
It’s become a kind of battle cry to live life over the top, to extremes.But what if you adopted it as a lifestyle. Not in the grandiose, trips of a lifetime, experiences of a lifetime kind of way. What if, every day, you did one thing to its fullest? Here’s an example (a silly one, but a very doable one.)
After months in the hospital, my teeth were starting to decay badly. My dentist said I needed to make sure I was brushing my teeth for a full two minutes each morning and evening.I found that difficult. So I bought an electric toothbrush. It’s timed for 30 seconds each zone for a total of two minutes.
I find myself trying to count to match the timer. And while it’s not the funnest thing in the world to do, for that two minutes, I’m TOTALLYfocused on and fully engaged in brushing my teeth. I’m not doing anything else. I’m giving full attention to my teeth. I’m all in for that two minutes.Living life to the fullest is actually pretty easy, if you do it one activity at a time. That’s my challenge to you. Start with ONE activity a day and live it to the fullest!And love your life along the journey! You’ll be glad you did.
