"When I loved myself enough...my heart became so tender that it could welcome joy and sorry equally."

~ Kim McMillen, When I loved Myself Enough

I am grateful for the circle of warrior women and men in my life that truly see me, believe in me and allow me to truly see and believe in them.

I am grateful for a big, wide and deep family whose colors and personalities fill my heart with such joy and giddiness that it is overflowing.

I am grateful for an earth and sky that nourish me.

I am grateful for a creative outlet that is wildly fun and full of connection.

I am grateful for a husband that has taught me how to love fiercely.

I am grateful for our baby that is yet to nestle into my womb and into our arms.

I am grateful for a journey that has stretched me up and beyond into a place that is rich with wisdom, patience, discipline, intense emotions and fertile sisters that will walk beside me for a lifetime.

I am grateful that my heart knows how to feel joy and sorrow and realizes that it can't ever fully feel one without the other.

Today, I am so crazy beautiful grateful and with each breath, I feel it more.

Happy Thanksgiving.
