There isn’t a gift under a tree that compares to the gift(s) under your skin.
Here’s something to chew on between now and 1/1/15.
What if you unwrapped yourself and your world everyday for a year?
Chances are you would gain awareness,
enter into vulnerability,
discover potential,
and lead yourself towards all new possibilities.
Cliche, but it sounds like everyday would provide a form of Christmas.
That thing.
That thing you think about when you look at the cosmos. What is that thing?
That thing you feel when connection happens in a moment, in the world, with a person, and even with yourself. What is that thing?
That thing that has beaten in your chest as long as you can remember. What is that thing?
That thing you feel on December 25th. That thing you wish you could bottle and drink on the 26th, 27th, and thereafter. What is that thing?
That thing that hums when generosity has her way.
That thing that flies when gratitude is swapped.
That thing has a name and its name is Your Music.
I’d like to tell you more, but it’s better if you take it from here.
Thank you.
I’m sorry.
Let me get that door for you.
I made this for you.
You were awesome.
That made me cry (in a good way).
That allowed me to breathe.

That doesn’t change the fact that they are what cause us to press on.
Name the last time you forgot a complement or regretted serving without an agenda. It’s hard to, right?
Moment makers sleep really well.
Have all of your answers?
Or
Have wrestled with all of your questions?
Pretty sure our questions respect us more than our answers do.
…lies a code, a secret, a memo, a to-do, and a line that only you can hear.
This is the place where destiny awakens genius.
Millions of forms, fashions, possibilities, and moments are spoken here: doors to open, notes to write, songs to sing, stories to live out, businesses to create, movements to make, children to raise, gardens to grow, and on and on. In the end, it never ends (that place of possibility resting in the back of your mind, but longing to be awakened). There’s always more. There’s always next.
Whatever it is, we are waiting to see and experience it and you won’t rest at ease until it gets out and becomes something that is real.
