Her message is that in order to avoid living in the Land of Regret, we need to live every day as fully as possible and not put things off till later. Later may never come. Live NOW as that is all we have for certain.\n\nMerri has published a couple of books that are in perfect harmony with both her witty personality and her straightforward message. Her first book is called \"Thoughts from the Tub [https://amzn.to/30mj9BM]\" and gathers together ideas as only a mostly single mother of four rambunctious boys can do...while stealing a few precious moments of alone time in the bathtub!\n\nMore recently, Merri has published \"Don't Die Before You're Dead [https://amzn.to/3brtXoR]\", \u00a0which is a bit of a roadmap to help you forge your way forward in life, as well as \u00a0a journal for keeping track of it as you go. The journal offers a bit of a guide to help you along the way.\n\nYou can follow Merri on Facebook at: \u00a0https://www.facebook.com/groups/dontdiebeforeyouredead where she's gathering steam (and advice from people in the know) for her upcoming \u00a0cross-Canada RV trip, scheduled to begin in May 2021. Join the group and \u00a0be part of her journey !\n\nYou can also find Merri on her website, or through her Facebook profile:\n\nwww.merrimacartney.com [http://www.merrimacartney.com/]\nhttps://www.facebook.com/MerriMacartneyDDBYD\n\n\u00a0","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/31b1608f-c589-4e87-8ca8-3e5468fa2f63/2aba875d-3c33-4601-96ed-1b79868f84db.jpg"}
