I am Thankful for: The Gift of Space

COVID 19 has meant different things to me at different parts of the year. It March, it meant Anxiety and Fear because the U.S. was given little to no information about the virus and how to navigate it. In April, it meant adjusting to a full house, since my sister and niece moved back in,…

I am Thankful for: Recent Memories

I’m Thankful For: Self Acceptance

The weekend felt ordinary. Late Monday night I realized more happened below the surface than I could see. I was home more then I was out. The 3 intentional activities that I did, were filled with open, positive people who are more strangers than acquaintances or friends. As we talked, each person shed light on…

I’m Thankful For: Chance Encounters

Last week my friend was in town. I’ll call her the traveler. It was late July in 2014 when I met her. She was in town visiting a friend and I had just gotten back from my month of writing. I debated going out that night, to visit my friend at his restaurant, but I decided to…
