I once wrote “I am humbled when my birthday rolls around because I am unsure of what to do with all of the love/appreciation that is expressed. As I’ve matured, and given consideration to what a birthday is about, I’ve realized that a birthday is less a moment for the individual to ask for love…but it’s a moment for others to freely express their love/appreciation for an individual.”

My life has changed, so much, over the last year; many of our lives have changed. And the constant has been that I simply find myself waking up thankful for what I’ve received.

However, I continue to wonder if I am giving back equal to that which I have received.

I volunteer. I sit on boards. I give of my talent, time, and treasure. And yet it often feels like it’s not enough. I am every day inspired by those who have found a way to allow their heart work and their head work to align–not everyone can be afforded that opportunity.

And while I have yet found my way to align my heart work and my head work I can only promise to show up. So in this year I promise to continue showing up.

Thank you–each of you for taking a moment to show up for me.

“Well I ain’t tryna tell you what to do
Lord knows I got a lot to learn myself
But it’s getting harder watching you
Putting that heart of yours through hell
The world wasn’t broken in a day
And it ain’t gotta stay this way forever
But you ain’t gotta change the whole damn thing
You just gotta leave it a little better
You ain’t gotta change the whole thing
You just gotta leave it a little better”

L’shalom,
