My Beloved Community,
I hope you had a
wonderful Thanksgiving
with family and friends...
that is of course, if you celebrate.
The complexity of the holiday
season is a lot to grapple with
sometimes, I know. 😉
I had the great
pleasure
of making dinner for my
parents, and then spent time
with friends for some
thought
provoking
games and desert.
💛
I'm currently writing this
newsletter from my hotel
room in Miami.
I'm headed to
Sivananda Bahamas
to lead a singing retreat
with Maggie Wheeler
and Diana Lynn Wallace.
Can't wait to see
some of you there!
👏
My heart is still singing from
our precious time together
at the RIO Theatre for
Yala Lati's 20th annual Fall Concert!
💖
I don't know that I've ever felt an
audience so dropped in, tuned in,
present and engaged.
And there were just over 620 of you!
What a powerful experience!
I'm forever grateful for our
time together.
❤️
