A Living Wonder

You are wonderful! I mean it. There is nothing quite like you in all the universe. You are more than the collection of atoms you see looking back at you in the mirror. You are a living soul, a consciousness illuminating and reflecting the wonder of creation. You ponder. You dream. You laugh at surprises and weep at sadness. Your life creates a story and threads those memories through your soul like a loom creating a tapestry. It stretches beyond the horizon and dreams deeply into the future. You shape time with your presence and color the sky with your passions. You are truly amazing.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you don’t matter. You are worth more than gold and priceless beyond measure. Time and space bend to your presence. You craft a mark on the universe with every breath you take. Exhale, and the cosmos folds around you; inhale, and the world becomes part of you, fueling the unique wonder of your life and your limitless potential. There is nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it.

What should we do with this potential inside of us? Create something! Speak into the void and shape the landscape.

As we ride this terrestrial globe, color the days with love, texture each moment with kindness, and decorate the present with care. Connect with other souls and discover the force that multiplies our existence: when we unite, the wonder multiplies. Together, our song becomes a harmony; our unique solos become a symphony. We need each other more than we know. Every voice matters. Together, we change the world.

This week is Thanksgiving, and as I reflect on gratitude, I’m reminded of the privilege it is to know each of you and the human family we share. I’m thankful for you all.

Our story keeps evolving, but there is one constant: Each one of you is infinitely marvelous. Go be you, with all your heart. We need that. The world needs that.

I wish you joy and gratitude this Thanksgiving!
