Lily Ann Beatrix
Last night before our workshop I got to meet up with my best friend of over 20 years, Ray, and see for the first time his newborn baby girl, little Lily Ann Beatrix.
She is absolutely precious, and beautiful beyond all words.
It was good for my heart, and good for my soul, and I’m finding myself happier today than I have been in many long months…
Life continues to thrive on this big, blue planet of ours, and healthy, vibrant red blood continues to pump in my veins.
I feel like I am waking up anew––just as Spring is coaxing delicate new flowers from the bare earth.
Even the birds are in on it: a lovely red robin has been greeting me with a song each morning as I leave my house.
Thank you everyone. Thank you Lori. Thank you family. Thank you friends. Thank you Queen G (buzz, buzz!)
I know somebody who needs a really big bear hug… I think it’s time I start giving back.

Hi Hammy,
What a great way to start my day…looking at these sweet photos and hearing how well you’re taking to the springtime!
I have been feeling happier too. I performed last night at Julie’s and sang my heart out! It was a personal milestone to get back into singing and it felt good.
Looking forward to the Yuba warming up so we can all dive in and swim!
Love,
KIzzy
