Come back. Break the trance. Pay attention to your breath. Your arms. Your legs. Listen to the sounds. The scrape of a chair. The whirr of the copy machine. Notice colors. The royal blue of a coworker's dress. The coffee stain on your boss's tie. Wake up to the riot of life around you every second. The singer Pearl Bailey said, "People see God every day; they just don't recognize Him." What if every day was a chance to see a new version of God? What if what you needed was right in front of you and you were not recognizing it? You already have everything you need to be content. Your real work, despite the corporate ladder you are climbing, is to do whatever it takes to realize that. ~Geneen Roth, Women Food and God

Aside from marriage, mothering, yoga and driving a car, there is nothing I've done longer in my life than write this blog. I find that to be curious and comforting at the same time. The capturing and sharing, the looking for words and noticing the day, I love it all. It matters to me, you matter to me. With love and gratitude I appreciate you for being here. Your contributing voices and collective energy inspire me every day, thank you.
