Gratitude Monday and back in blog action after a wonderful visit home. I didn't anticipate taking time off from posting, but my grandma and my mother don't have internet and I was without a car for most of my trip. I took it as a sign to take a breather. Here are the three things I'm grateful for today! What are yours? Love you, LP.
1) Airplanes and pilots. At the drop of a hat I can book a ticket to see the ones I love or venture to far off places. That's really neat.
2) The birth of Beyonce, which is today. Thank you for inspiring, creating, empowering and not holding back when it comes to sharing your gifts with the world. A recent gem of hers, " If we're going to heal, LET IT BE GLORIOUS!" Happy birthday, QUEEN.
3) Number 3 is two parts. First, my ability to welcome processing. To not fear going THERE. Being ok with exploring and trying to understand, or make sense of, why I feel the way I feel at different times in life. While yes, there is a fine line between over-thinking and self exploration, I am thankful to dance around that line day in and day out to continue to feel more, be more, and help more. My trip home was so very eye opening. Freeing. I can't wait to share more of what inspired me at home, and what avenues of thought I traveled. Secondly, I'm grateful for you, whoever may be reading, or traveling along with me. I love doing the work, and doing it together makes it less scary or lonely. We all have something to offer, and to find it, we need to feel and understand it first. Together we are building more compassion, understanding and awareness and that's KEY.
