New Year

January 1, 2025

A new year of possibility

There is such joy at the sound of a beloved song coming through the speakers! I got to hear my all-time favorite today, and it felt like a special gift.

3x5 by John Mayer.

The entire song feels like a relic now. It's a tune about photographs (and more broadly

...about presence and grasping) written before cell phones included built in cameras. 

"Oh, today I finally overcame

Tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame"

And my other favorite lyric is..."You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes - It brought me back to life."

Dear ones...2025 is here.

And I hope it's a year of full presence for you. May we all find a way to embrace more moments. May we notice where we are...and who we're with...and the glorious, perplexing mystery of it all.

I'm still deciding on a word of the year.

Do you have one picked out?

Xo,
