Happy Holidays
(if you are celebrating them)
and Here are My Gifts
I made you some promises lately, and as the year comes to a close, I want to honor them. Life threw me an unexpected challenge—my mom passed away two weeks ago—and it caused some delays.
I share this not to bring you down, but because it’s been a powerful reminder of what truly matters: living a life filled with meaning, doing what we love, and cherishing every moment. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us.
My mom was a lawyer who gave up her own career dreams to care for my dad, my brother, and me as we moved from place to place. She did not want me to do the same sacrifice; she always encouraged me to work.
This week, in keeping my promise to her, I’ve returned to doing what I love: my work. It brings me joy because I’ve chosen a path that aligns with my heart. Even in this time of grief, my work offers me solace—it’s a source of comfort, not a distraction. Living a life filled with dread or drained by unfulfilling work isn’t really good for anyone of us.
One thing I’ve learned through my grief is this: when someone we love passes, we find solace if they’ve lived their life fully. But it’s heartbreaking when we know they didn’t get to chase their dreams.
That’s why I’ve prepared what I promised earlier—to help you take steps toward a fulfilled life, inspired by the lessons my amazing mom has left me. (Details below.)
If you don’t want to carry regrets into your 80s or 90s, now is the time to act. Whether it’s a career change, a new job, or a hobby to pursue in retirement, it’s worth chasing, at least worth exploring! Don’t leave this earth without using your unique gifts and following your dreams.
It’s okay not to know where to start or how to get there—that’s exactly why I’m here and I have these gifts for you or someone you know.
There are also gift cards you can buy for others who may need this extra push.
With love and gratitude,
Ozlem Brooke Erol
