As I think about what I'm grateful for, I'm surprised by how different my life is this year than last. So much has changed, and I've brought about all of that change because I've had the space to find my values and power again. And I am oh-so-grateful for that space. Here's what else makes my heart light:
The robins having a little party in my garden today
Being part of the DU community
My students and the lessons they teach me
Milo the nephew dog
My sister Lindsey
My partner Gary
My mom
The clients who make me laugh
The lovely house I live in and the garden that surrounds me
Beads and making pretty baubles
Emily, Shannon, Heather, Amy, and Merry, who have been friends through good times and bad
Having my mentee, Consuelo, in my life
The staff and fellow board members at Smart-Girl
Barack Obama
Music! There was a great series of essays about music on This American Life (a show aired on NPR) last weekend, and one of the people on the show said this: "A chord here... A chord there... And your heart splits open." Yeah.
Blessings upon you.
