Saturday, Jan 5th

Two days before departure, and things are starting to get a little crazy. (Not that they weren't before!) I dropped Lee off at the airport to fly back to Portland tonight, and am reassured to find that my heart is still capable of both joy and sorrow in strong fast beating strides. Joy for inexhaustable heart spaces. Sorrow for the complications of repeated comings and goings.

My family is very worried about my safety. To them I extend: Thank you for your love and support! I will take it with me and keep it close and will make decisions that protect my health and honor your concerns. I love you. I'll miss you. I will stay in touch via skype (thanks dad!) and email, and you can check this page to see what I am up to.

I am grateful to my friends and family who have supported me and shown me so much love in the past year. Pam, Rick, Chuck, Katie, Kevin, Tyler, Kurt, Jan, Pat, Gail, Mom, Dad, Linds, Liz, Rachel, Breigh, Evan, Clara, and last but certainly not least, Lee. Thank you. This has been a time of constant change and I feel truly blessed to have you all in my life.

I'm very optimistic about what the next few months hold! Stay posted for updates here if you are interested!

Much love,
Namaste.
