It's funny like that

A little poem celebrating growth

For those sitting down to a special meal today, may your tables be filled with love.

Here’s a poem on the beautiful surprise that unfolds when we show up to ourselves. We grow our capacity to be present to the bigger realities around us.

This one is from “There She Is: Love Notes on Finding Home,” which officially arrives this Monday, December 2!

it’s funny like that

growth is sneaky
subtle
shocking
sweet

somewhere along the way
space expanded in me for
the grief
fear
possibility
wonder
and love
of others

all because i showed up
to each of them
in myself first

There She Is: Love Notes on Finding Home

Absolutely honored that

Liz Newman

would lend her voice to this project. Liz is generous, honest, and kind. I love my internet friends I've never met in person, yet I can't remember not knowing them. Such a gift.
