Joanne Dufour and i were born on March 23. I am one year older,
but when you reach our age, it’s not the years that count its the wisdom gained by living fully with joy and happiness. We discovered that not all experiences are perfect, yet everything is a gift. Joanne also knew my late husband Dr. Robert Muller. Growing up in New York, she knew him from his speeches and her many visits to the United Nations, where he spent 40 years working for peace..

We explore and answer the questions Robert asked in his book Planet of Hope. “What is the objective of life? How do you fully live one’s own life with passion?” Our lively discussion about coincidences and our current work for peace brought us so much gratitude for all the loves of our life, the work, and the spiritual dimensions that continue to make us believe we were born for a purpose.
And we both agree, “We are rewarded with happiness for the way we live and we are so grateful for having been allowed to be born.”
