Lenore Campbell, in her book Medical Economics, tells the funny story about how early in her career as a doctor she went to see a patient who was coming out of anesthesia. Far off church chimes sounded.

“I must be in heaven,” the woman murmured. Then she saw Lenore. “No, I can’t be,” she said. “There’s Dr. Campbell.”

Do you ever feel like folks consider you a marker that they are not in heaven? I hope not.

Live your life as if you are in heaven. It can make all the difference.

Wishing you much love and much light.
