Dear 2014, bring it! Bring on the people I’ve yet to meet. I know they’re out there heading my way. Cosmic hitchhikers, wild-eyed visionaries, creative playmates, spiritual sherpas, new friends with old souls, teachers of one important lesson, messengers who don’t even realize they have a mission, survivors and lost souls, beauty mongers and partymakers, temporary seatmates and sturdy companions for the long haul. Bring on the big moments, the hard roads, the everyday hallelujahs. The falling down and getting back up, the vault of heaven on a fall day, the brokenness and being healed, the
ship that comes in, the tide that goes out, the first day of spring and the last day of school, glitter and gold stars, the pop of corks and the best haircut ever. Bring on heartbreak and foolishness, mistakes and making up, good intentions and reinvention, wide eyes and open hearts. Bring on everything I have yet to be.
