Me too Liz, me too. The move is done, and I’ve had a long sleep. Emotions were high. The endings. Wow. Even when you ask for them, they take your breath away. For the first time I allowed myself to be enveloped in it. And now we begin again ❀️

Happiest of birthdays to you, sweet friend! I absolutely LOVE these lists (you better believe that I copy the idea for my next newsletter!), and I resonate with pretty much all of the items on your "what actually makes me happy" list. Who would have thought that facing pain and darkness are so important to contributing to our happiness? Aging is such a gift, the wisdom we gain with age is priceless.

It literally just gets better as we settle into who we really are year after year, doesn’t it?! The only thing to do is to be present and to soak it all up as it comes. So grateful for you and for our very long friendship of support and love. ❀️🫢🏻
