The future belongs to those who prepare for it today. ~ Malcolm X
A reader writes: How do we get people talking about their fear of dying and how to live fully now and being prepared???
My response: I’m not sure which people you’re talking about, but given the current concern about COVID-19 and all the anxiety surrounding it, I certainly do appreciate your question, especially in these uncertain times. Fortunately the Internet offers a vast array of answers, and I hope I can point you to some resources you’ll find useful, regardless of the circumstances. Here are some I invite you to explore:
