b.i.g.

I'm gearing-up-for and smack-dab-in-the-middle-of a doozey of a fall season. special projects at work. special events to host. taking on some new challenges. big. big. big. I mean really big. and, in the meantime, pondering a life-changing course. did I mention big? and to add to the calendar, darling daughter called last night to see if we could come out to babysit over Halloween. happily accepted. heart-filling big.

it's all good. but ever so busy. fun. in a not-really-stressful, but anxious kind of way.

I love life when it is full. happy. quirky. uncertain. challenging. and I float along joyfully. there are those moments, like yesterday, when I hear the little ping of a bubble burst. I can say that I can handle it (through tears of joy or sorrow or plain old frustration) - in all honesty - not because I am strong. but because the people that surround me. lift me up, support me. there is love. faith. grace. gratitude. hope. wonderfully big.

'real and lasting change is possible where it can do the most good, inside our own hearts and minds. It’s either fear or love, baby. I choose love.'
