On your mark, get set, go
Tomorrow morning I begin a new project/new client with multiple deadlines over the course of the next few weeks.
November also begins a seriously busy social calendar that includes, but is not limited to, two 40th birthday extravaganzas, one Prince Dance Party, one Robert Glasper concert, and a trip to San Francisco for a good friend’s son’s bar mitzvah.
I know right now on this evening of October 27th that life is about to go into overdrive starting tomorrow so let me hold onto this one moment to say I have learned how to take a deep breath and also let it out. I’ve learned to be grateful for what I have and not always crave more. I’ve discovered there is mystery around every corner and I don’t know as much as I think I do. I’ve discovered that wanting to parent a child is not for everyone, but it sweeps your life into the extraordinary.
I’ve become ever so grateful for when things go wrong because it helps me let go of one more certainty, which is incredibly freeing.
So as the minutes, hours, days, weeks arrive, I will allow each their own magical unfolding and greet what awaits with a sense of awe.
