It is with great regret that I can confirm a friend of mine, Wendy Shaffer, lost her life in the AA plane crash last night. Wendy was an incredible wife to my friend Nate, and an amazing mom of two children, ages 3 and 1. I met them both when they were dating when I was working in Charlotte, NC. Always smiling, such a sweetheart. Heartbroken for Nate. We go from joking in our fantasy football group chat to this horrible news.
RIP Wendy 🙏🏻
In announcing Wendy’s passing, Nate says the following:
"I'm still waiting to wake up from this nightmare, but I fear this is the truth. Wendy was not just beautiful on the outside, but was a truly amazing woman through and through. She was the best wife, mother, and friend that anyone could ever hope for. Her love, kindness, and strength touched everyone she met. We will miss you more than words can express, Wendy Jo. I love you endlessly! Rest in peace, my love."
Failure in life has been one of the biggest motivators for me..
Fear is truly one of the biggest things that allow us to change.
Just because you held yourself to a lower standard in the past doesn’t mean you have to continue that trajectory for the rest of your life.
Create the life that you want to live and own that shit.
I'm sitting here, experiencing my own little ups & downs of life, and suddenly remember there's 8 billion other humans like me, now also living through their ups & downs: from horrible lows to beautiful highs. What a wild ride we're all on... And we're on it together. Hang on ❤
