wow. what a weekend...

 

 

  

 

i am so overwhelmed with gratitude,

so a la valerie style, here's my list...

i am grateful for:

1. (there isn't an adjective in the english language to describe)

the amazing and supportive family, friends and colleagues i have...

2. making new connections with people that i hope will

continue to grow and become part of my community

3. people who buy my artwork despite how bad the economy is,

and even when people don't buy it, they compliment

it with the deep sincerity

4. will, for brewing carriage house studio ale that put

a smile on those who sampled it

5. everyone who came to the potluck and brought such

yummy and healthy food. and that we ate almost

all of it and didn't waste it!

6. three of my current/previous "bosses" showing up to the sale

at the same time - and how wonderful it is that they

(continue) to be part of my support system

7. having so much to be grateful for that i can't figure out

how to put it into speakable communication

8. satya, grace and karen for sending pure bhakti

energy into our home today with their sweet music and voices.

9. & even though no one showed up for the kirtan,

how gracefully, they just called it practice and

played each other new songs.

10. getting to see krishna das, nina, mark and arjun

play tonight days after coming from a 2 month sojourn in india...

their shakti was palpable...

11. patty who just funded a trip for me by giving my

buddha under tree a new home. i am speechless yet again

for her generosity. wow.

12. ria, jeannie, jen and ting - my studio mates

(even though we live miles and miles apart!)

13. being able to dance, sing, sell artwork, spend time

with those i love and have a bonfire all in one weekend

14.valerie for her kick-ass gratitude lists

15. last but not least, that a friend is finding

a way to be positive even through getting

some really scary medical news.

 (please, everyone - put some healing thoughts out

to everyone who may be dealing with things like

this in their lives.)

16. how could i forget to be thankful for

chocolate and peanut butter filled BUDDHAS!
