What Happened?

Hello,
 

I want to give a quick update with some personal news, which explains a bit why I haven’t been sending out any emails lately.

My mother got diagnosed with lung cancer on November 16, 2019, and she went through numerous chemotherapy; and radiation treatments these past years. 12 months in, she got news that the treatment had worked and all was well, only to get the death sentence a week later, as they had missed a spot in her lungs. The intensive treatments continued, and she was fighting the battle with all her strength. She had a strong desire to live and wanted to experience more with her husband, children (me and my brother) and grandchildren. 

Sadly, in October, she made the tough decision to end all treatment because her body just couldn’t take it anymore. At first, she was given the expectancy to live to see her last Christmas in 2021, but being the stubborn, tough little lady she was, she managed to fight for 4 months more. 

However, on April 1st, as I was sitting by her bedside, holding her hand - my mother, the most important woman in my life, my rock, my inspiration, my biggest supporter in life, took her final breath at 06.24 in the morning. 

I made the decision to be with her as often as possible these past years and months, to support my dad, and to be with both of them, care for them, cook for them and do my best to create some nice memories until her end. The family has been my priority. 

I must admit, I did have hopes for her to live longer, as she was a fighter like no other, but the cancer got the last straw. Needless to say it has been some very emotional days, weeks and months, and I just haven’t found the energy to create content or to follow up with you. 

I hope you and your loved ones are doing well. Please remember to tell the people that matters in your life just how much you care. Life is a present, and we need to be grateful for each day we get to be here with the ones we love. 

If you have any thoughts or a story of your own, please reply to this email - I do appreciate and enjoy all of you that write a few lines or ask me questions. 

PS. Soon I will send an update in regard to my “inner circle” for the upcoming masterclass. There’s a slight delay, but I hope you have empathy for my reasons why. We have close to 70 percent signup of the 25 spots that are available. I would love to get the last seats at the table filled in the coming weeks. But that’s for the next update. 

Be safe, stay awesome! 

Kindly, 

// Arnt
