This week will be a one-blog-entry week due to a variety of
reasons, not the least of which are jet lag and a raging red rash.
Steve’s memorial was beautiful, respectful, and inspiring.
The positive, loving energy among the nearly 300 people that filled the LA
studio where it took place was palpable. So many good people that he had
attracted in his life and it’s no surprise that they were all there to pay
tribute to such an incredible person that had impacted their lives as he has
mine. The day was full of laughter, shared stories, touching moments and
positivity among Steve’s favorite breakfast foods and drinks.
It was an honor to get to meet his family and to be able to
tell them how much their son meant to me. In and of itself, it was worth the
cross-country flight to be able to hug his wife, Jen, in person and to hear her
speak so eloquently about the loss of her soul mate.

Though I wish he was still here, I left having learned more
about his life and the way that he lived it giving me such a dose of positive
inspiration and an acceptance of the natural rhythms of life and death that I
needed at this time. The lessons that he taught through his witty and
thoughtful ways did not die with him; they will always live on inside all of us
who were fortunate enough to have had him in our lives.
