Thank you, 2015

Thank you for an abundance of food, clean water and a roof over my head. Thank you for keeping me safe.

Thank you for hopes and intentions turned wildest dreams fulfilled. For work and passion intertwining into what truly is a purpose driven life.

I laugh until my belly aches and tears roll down my cheeks nearly everyday with someone I’m madly in love with. Thank you.

Thank you mamas and babies, for inviting me into your most earthly and cosmic of journeys. You are, hands down, the bad-asses of the universe.

Thank you for the fear, sadness and lessons even when I resisted. Thank you for the wisdom.

Thank you to the artists, dreamers, local lovers. Thanks to this flavorful, colorful city I call home.

Thank you feminists, queers, racial justice activists, socialists, abortion providers and brave ones.

Thank you for sparkles, color, dancing, hula hoops, music, games, fun and limitless joy and gratitude.

Thank you earth, for your gardens, oceans, dirt, fire, rain. Thank you to the mountains, for always reminding me that I am small.

Thank you for this body where I exist, play, rest, receive hugs and experience comfort and connection.

Thank you meditation, goddesses, yogis, wise women, gurus, midwives and spiritualists, for a faith connection free of dogma, yet overflowing with hope, love and trust.

Thank you for the reminders that intuition and empathy are tools on which I can always rely.

Thank you family, friends, animals, loved ones, students, co-workers and neighbors for being a part of my village. 

Thank you for all this and more. 

Happy New Year!
