Today I was thinking about how much I like to just celebrate things!

All things. I like acknowledgments of achievements, birthdays — oh I LOVE a dang Birthday (AmyLynFest2021) — babies being born, weddings, celebrations of a life well lived, a new car, a home purchase, getting UP IN THE MORNING, that first cup of coffee….all of it. I think we focus too much on things we aren’t achieving and less on those that we do right.

We go bumble into the next project or task and forget to just stop and look at what it is that we created. We don’t sit with things. We check boxes. That’s not a life that I want to live. Is it what you want?

I want to look in your eyes when we talk and see you and be seen. I want to have connection and time together and laughter. I want it all to matter. More than I want to complete a to-do list. I want to show up for you. I want you to show up for me. But either way, I want to cheer you on. That’s who I am. Sometimes it’s lonely being the cheerleader for everyone else. Is that you?

If that’s you, I am here for you. I want to celebrate you. Tell me what made you happy today.
