Susan notes: Katherine Martin, author, playwright, wife, mother, and 'beauty,' is part of the fabric of this website.
Martin died in January 14, 2006. She and I never met in this life; perhaps we will in another. Her husband Franc Sloan generously agreed to share two letters he wrote to family and friends about her departure from this world (fittingly, on a big red horse).

Thanks to the Daily Om for this great post!
While it is always important to honor what we've lost, sometimes a loss can also represent a chance for a new beginning.
When we lose anything that we cherish, the sense of emptiness we are left behind with can be overwhelming.

1) Realise your own worth. Avoid comparing yourself with others. Each of us is special, because we are different one from the other.
2) Set your own goals based on what is important to you, not what others think is important. Only you know what is best for you.
3) Treasure the things that are closest to your heart. Cherish them as you would your life, without them life is meaningless.

Guest blog post by Lydia Criss Mays, Ph.D.
If you live in the United States, you know November has a focus on giving thanks, specifically on Thanksgiving Day.
If you live outside of the USA, think lots of turkey basting, potato mashing, parade watching, and camaraderie. The "thanks giving" part of Thanksgiving Day got us thinking about ways to see beautiful.
