Glowing... *deep breath
I fear I may have pumped up the “details to come” a little in my recent Facebook post about my "one HELL of a week"... and hope I don’t disappoint anyone. These little details, these little things every day, are the kind that help create the kind of life I live and they mean the world to me.
This week. Going into Monday, I knew there will be challenges - professionally and personally... but I never expected to have experienced the warmth of it all as I did.
Professionally, whew!
A high level view: my task list was ever growing, teammates were depending on me... and my adrenaline rush revved high. ALL week. BAM! I was one bad mother mhmm and a multi-tasking fool! Among my oozing awesomeness this week, was the unspoken support of the team that helped me succeed.
Your job is not a job if you love it... and have fun. During the hustle and bustle of the day, is the laughter and random visits. Without them knowing it, I needed the team more than ever this week and as usual, they were there... just being themselves.
Also excited to be planning a community service project, a food drive, that will launch this coming Monday at the office. I’m thrilled that me and the team will be able to participate this year. I remember my fire growing when I was looking at the details for this. Can’t wait.
Personally, Mmmm.
My latest tattoo session was this week (there will be a special post for this), and it was only one highlight of the week. Once again, it’s was humbling... and the art piece is coming to life.
The week progressed with it’s personal struggles, like every week... but having a great circle of friends made the struggles a little less heavy. Went to support Ana and David at their soccer game... yet another highlight. I love seeing loved ones do what they’re passionate about and being able to support them any way I can. Brings me joy seeing their joy.
Friday came and as we do often, Ana and I had lunch at our spot, Arigatos. Sharing stories, laughing... this time, tears. At the end of our lunch, she wanted to ask me a question. She presented a gift on the table, then proceeded to ask if I would do the honor of being her Matron of Honor! Sigh. Before she finished her sentence, I started crying. Overwhelmed with love, happiness. Indescribable.
Ana isn’t just a friend, she’s a soulsister. I’ve always felt it, we have so many little things that makes up our friendship, but it was the fact we had scabs at the same time I did that solidified our connection. Yes, scabs. Tomboys at heart. HA!
Yes, another sigh. This week has been enlightening, fun, crazy-busy, joyous, and simply beautiful.
[I share these moments with you in hopes that you feel them too.]
