The Stuff of Life

As I sit down to write this my heart is heavy AND full. Heavy because of the pain so many are experiencing in the world right now.  So much suffering, divisiveness, loneliness… and my dear sweet dad is in his final days. And full… because life is so damn beautiful. It’s truly a miracle that we are alive. We get to live this moment. So much to be grateful for, to see, experience, create, contribute, ….  and love. And if you let yourself slow down, to be present, to witness life and all of its beauty, you can’t help but be in awe. Light and dark. Life and death. Challenge and ease. This is the stuff of life. It's tough AND it's awesome and in every moment you get to choose what you're going to focus on. So let’s, today and everyday, extend some loving kindness to ourselves and to everyone on this amazing planet of ours. May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be happy. May you live in peace. Happy holidays and cheers to you!!
