For the last 2 1/2 years I have been putting my thoughts out into the world in this blog, and it has been life-changing. I truly see the world in a different way. I find myself looking for stories, for lessons, for moments that capture my heart. I find myself saying, “Now that would make a great blog.” And I am never at a loss for ideas…because of you.
Thank you for being amazing people. Thank you for modeling grace and kindness and perseverance. Thank you for teaching me how to be a better person. Each day, each hour of each day, I find someone who is serving children, working to make life better for others , fighting for what is right. People are capable of incredible good. I am overwhelmed by it. Thank you!
I am taking a short break from the blog, as I do every summer. But I will not be taking a break from the search for good in the world. It is all around us, and we are better when we focus our time on that.
Be That Person 
I’ll miss your blog over the summer, but you have earned a well-deserved break. Enjoy! And right on about the power of practicing gratitude. Sometimes I just sit and breathe deeply and appreciate the joy of being loved, healthy, and being given the gift of another day. Happy Mother’s Day, dear one.
