Well, it has been a MINUTE! I haven’t written anything in just under two years and YIKES, that is a long time! It is easy to beat myself up about this, but instead, I’m gonna choose to give myself grace because the last two years have not necessarily been a walk in the park.

Happy Winter Olympics to all who celebrate! 10 years ago today I pulled off one of the most epic surprises when I got to go to Cambodia for Panha’s wedding! I remember riding around in a tuk tuk and surprising people everywhere I went. It was so much fun, even though I only got to be in country for just over 48 hrs (not even long enough to get over jet lag). Went on a chilly icy walk with my Mom and it felt great to be outside and it was so lovely! I have never in all my years seen the Clinton River as frozen as it was today! My brain was playing tricks on me today, making me feel like I can’t do the things in my heart that I long to do… but instead of letting my head win I decided to play back! Well, it’s been a few weeks (those who know the flu got me down, know I was down BAD) but I am back up and ready to rock! Not to be hyperbolic, and I know that so much is still going to happen this year, but, I’m feeling insanely hopeful for all this new year has for me and for us collectively! This season has not been easy and I find tears dancing in my eyes more than I’d like, however, I am filled with a wild and untamable hope for all that is to come.
