How She Really Does It.

Patti Digh – closing out the year

Listen Later

Patti Digh was my first guest and final guest for 2012.  Patti and I wrapped up 2012 in this interview.  For those of you new to Patti she is writer, a speaker and a mom.  Her work opens space for people to say a big YES: to their lives – before its's too late.

You see in 2003 Patti Digh's entire life changed.  Her stepfather was diagnosed with lung cancer.  He died 37 days later. That experience lead Patti to a renewed commitment to ask herself every morning: what would I be doing today if I only had 37 days to live?   Patti is the author of several books including best seller Life is a Verb.

As she mentioned in the previous interview, she asks herself these questions as she shapes her life:

How well did you love?

How fully did you live?

How deeply did you let go?

Did you make a difference?

In this interview we discuss:

  • Intention Driven vs Circumstance Driven
  • Control – her daughter’s diagnosis with Aspergers and her husband’s unexpected cancer diagnosis
  • What we learned
