I hope you have at least one moment this week where you’re just floored by the mystery of being… that you get to exist in this time and space… that the billion-year-dance of stardust and atoms has fashioned your most marvellous self.
Happy Monday. May your coffee be hot, your wifi strong, your emails few and easy to answer. May you have a great hair day, lunch with a friend, an early clock out. May you accomplish something you feel proud of, but even if you not, may you know deep in your bones you are loved.
