Nia Peeples commented on the recent passing of chuck Norris who she worked with on Walker Texas Ranger.

"#rip @chucknorris  This one hit hard. I hadn’t seen Chuck in years. We’d never been to each other’s homes. I’m not even sure he still had my phone number. But I felt this one. I’ve been crying all morning, not for the loss of someone I was extremely close to, but for the speed at which life is moving, clarifying, expanding and contracting. It’s just so damned fast right now—fast and big! Are you feeling it?

News outlets have been hitting me up all day and friends have been sending photos. When I received the first one of Chuck, Clarence and me, I realized, “Man. Life just keeps on ticking. Chuck and Clarence are no longer here....but I am. Why?”

I’ll tell you why...to live! to not waste our aliveness by living as if we’re dead. Chuck did it. He lived fully all the way through.

Things are scary out there right now, scarier than ever. But that’s why now, more than ever, is the time to stand up fully, to be bold, brave and true about who we are and how we want to express in this life. I’m sure as shit not gonna waste it. I’m goin’ for it

Who’s with me?"
