If self-validation were our most significant societal measure - we would give trophies to ourselves.

Know the best and highest choices for health and more often choose those things.

Tonight, late, when I'm still not done with the day but must comply with sleep, I can whisper, "There was done a little good today. Today I changed myself and the world, just a little. And yes, I loved." Most days, that is enough.

Belief transcends ritual, structure and societal expectation. It is an enlivening, intensely personal core to our being. Our way of being.

As you awaken, may your dreams greet you by name, and may you answer, "Yes!"

Go ahead. Weep for the rare, the never seen this way again, the excruciating, ineffable, unmitigated beauty of love.

May your season shine with delight and surprise.
