Connecting the Dots

"Life is unlimited - it expands with the generosity, compassion, inventiveness, and service that you contribute."

Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Last week in the email I wrote about the passing of my friend John, I mentioned that with his passing, there would be no one left to corroborate our tales, triumphs and adventures.

(Okay, we didn't win them all and some adventures might be better classified as misadventures!)

In response to that email, a dear high school friend wrote to me and reminded me of just how important it is that we keep these things alive. We keep them alive by telling the stories,over and over again.

That's dot #1.

His message resonated with me so much that it has become the inspiration for this year's annual Holiday mug message.

Dot #2.

As my excitement surrounding the 2019 mug offering is growing, I had a completely unexpected yet very welcome aha moment.

Dot #3.....

On my birthday I shared with you something that my Rabbi shared with the congregation on Rosh Hashana.

He said" the 2 most important days in anyone's life are 1) the day they are born and 2) the day they figure out why!

This year's mug project and the plans I now have to expand around it may very well be a big part of that day 2 for me.My WHY.

I'm super excited.

And not just a little bit terrified of the potential around this.

I want to share more with you.

Eventually ,you can be sure I will.

For now,just know how unbelievably grateful I am to John,to Barry, to my Rabbi and yes to you as well for being part of this Journey with me.

You are my muse!
