2018

Goodnight friends,

This year we gave to Greenpeace, opened the door to volunteering with them, we gave to the Latitude Project and the San Juan Del Sur day school.

We bought a home in Nicaragua and stumbled upon a community that fills the heart.

We wrote about injustice, endurance, drive, gratitude, intervals, intuition, motherhood, what it is to be shy and also the bright light. We covered going into battle in relationships, misogyny, marathons, and the dance that goes on inside of us.

Music was played often. Some was angsty, some was pop-y, all was groovy.

Plants were eaten and we learned how, one step at a time, we could do a little more good.

Thank you for coming along with me.

Can you imagine what 2019 will bring?

I hope as you lay your head on your pillow tonight you are at peace and fulfilled. If you aren’t, no big deal, there’s always tomorrow.

Enough – 1

What is it I want? What is it I need? Do I need to know?

Our world is expanding at an exponential pace. Do I need to see it all? Is it ok to just fully know my piece of it?

I am successful, very successful. Do I need to do better? What is better? Do I know? Do you know?

I have a career. Is it this right one? Is it fulfilling? Does it do enough good? Does it provide enough? Is it changing?

I am creative, I do new things. Should I work harder at this? Do people need to see this? Do I need to share this?

Are these the right questions? Have you asked them? What percentage of the world asks these questions? And if you look at the portion of the world that asks these questions and the portion that does not, who is the better?

If you are happy, in this moment, then that is enough. Can you be happy before you realize this?

If we push ourselves and face our fears and strive for excellence then great things happen. Or do they? Do they? At what cost? Cost for whom?

As 2018 comes to a close and 2019 opens I will continue to sit with you and ponder these things. I hope I will continue to bring you joyful moments, or just moments. I hope that something that is seen here makes a difference. My message, however, will continue to be that you don’t need here or anywhere else to find what it is you are looking for. You are enough. Your place here is enough. You hold greatness in you. There is no void, only a universe.
