World AIDS Day, December 1st

Today I am remembering my best friend Ross who was determined to beat the virus and instead was killed by a hit and run driver. He died at age 31. Ross was so full of joy and life that he was a magnet for happy people. His life was short but incredibly profound. I still see him on the beach at sunrise, doing yoga and dancing around his house to "Abba" flaming out in all of his fabulous gayness.

His mantra was "Honor Yourself". Whenever I reject negativity, I hear those words. "Honor Yourself". A constant reminder of how we live on in spirit even after the body is gone.
