Turning the corner to 2021
What a year? I had such hopes for 2020…the balance of this number was so alluring to me - a Libra who seeks balance in all things. Who would have thought this year would be so chaotic…so out of balance…so tragic…so transforming?
As we turn the corner to 2021, I hope that this new year will be better. That we will find our way back to being together…whenever we want…wherever we want…in person.
It is with this hope that I have chosen to finally launch this blog for myself and for others who value connecting in positive ways…inspiring, uplifting, supportive and empowering. I have been longing to commit to this personal exploration for many months…years now but other priorities kept it just out of reach. The ideas have been simmering…the colorful inspiration constantly swirling around me…and the time is right so here goes.
I start with the words of a poet and a pacifist, Edith Lovejoy Pierce. She lived in Evanston, Illinois, where my husband and I resided while attending business school at Northwestern University. Just as she drew inspiration from many facets of life - history, music and especially her Christian faith - I, too, will be exploring the many facets of our way of connecting to the world around us.
As I open this blog - the first “page” of this millennial version of a virtual journal - my heart is full of joy at having taken that first step…excited to see where it leads.
