Let's Light the Way

It was my birthday yesterday, and I've gotta say, I feel so blessed this year.

I feel blessed to be alive. Blessed that my children are healthy and that they all came home to celebrate with me! Blessed that my granddaughter lights up when I walk into a room! Blessed to have friends who have stood with me through the years and who have guided me, laughed with me, held me when I've fallen apart, and picked me up when I couldn't get up. They have reminded me more than a few times of my value, my worth, and my love.

I am also blessed that my work feels meaningful. I feel like I have a purpose bigger than myself, and part of that feeling comes from being in community with each of you each Sunday. That means a lot to me.

So on this day, I want to give thanks. First, to God, Mother Mary, and all of my guardian angels in heaven who I believe accompany me on my daily journey. Yep, I feel accompanied, supported, and guided on my path forward. Thank God that I do.
