I travelled to Switzerland this week for my aunt\u2019s funeral &#8211; a beautiful but bittersweet gathering. While it was, of course, a sad occasion, the silver lining was reconnecting with my Swiss family, some of whom I hadn\u2019t seen for years.<\/p>\n<p>Despite staying in touch from afar, it struck all of us how rare it is for us to come together in person &#8211; and how often it takes a moment of loss to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>The pure mountain air had a grounding effect on me, as did the quiet realisation that so many of us had been &#8220;waiting.&#8221; Waiting for the right time, the next opportunity, or perhaps for life to create the moment for us. But moments like these remind us: <em>life doesn\u2019t always wait.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, this week I invite you to reflect on this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What connections or reconnections are you \u201cwaiting\u201d to make?<\/li>\n<li>Who haven\u2019t you seen in a while &#8211; not because you don\u2019t care, but because \u201clife got in the way\u201d?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sometimes we think, &#8220;I\u2019ll message them next week,&#8221; or &#8220;We\u2019ll catch up soon.&#8221; But what if we didn\u2019t wait? What if we reached out today, not out of obligation but out of love and care?<\/p>\n<p>What I learned this week is that while we can\u2019t control life\u2019s losses, we <em>can<\/em> choose its moments of connection. We don\u2019t have to wait for a reason or a \u201cgood excuse\u201d to reach out to people we care about.<\/p>\n<p>The air in the Swiss mountains is fresh, clear, and pure. It reminded me that clarity doesn\u2019t always come from thinking harder &#8211; sometimes, it comes from being present. In that spirit, I\u2019ll leave you with this question:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Who will you reach out to today, simply because you <span style=\"color: #000000;\">can?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>&#8220;We keep telling ourselves we have time.
