Someone contacted me recently to share a most amazing acknowledgement. Something I did about thirty-plus years ago changed the course of this person’s life. This isn’t a veiled attempt to tell you how wonderful I am. What I did was not such a big deal, and believe me, back then I couldn’t muster much more than a shred of consciousness (or at least that’s my story from this perspective now). I was just following my bliss in a particularly incoherent fashion, typical me at about eighteen. Truth be told, I was playing match-maker as an incurable romantic without the satisfaction or distraction of any romantic love in my life at the time.

During the conversation, this person told me of how someone from the distant past contacted her with an acknowledgement, sharing how amazing that felt for her. So I began to think of the “paying it forward” feel of the chain of acknowledgements. Then I began to think of all the people who have blessed my life in ways small and large, of all the wonderful surprises that have come to me here and there, and of all the fond memories I have of the many angels-in-earthsuits that have graced my life. And I began to send them all blessings… oceans of blessings… each of them, one by one.

Just because.

And my blessings flow to you too. I feel so much gratitude that my life includes you, in whatever way our journeys have blended. You have made a positive difference in many a life, and you make a positive difference in my life, just by BEing here on this beautiful planet, by BEing beautiful you. Thank you.
