"there are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met yet."

Today, I am grateful for opportunities to be of service, for the chance to help others, and for the peace I feel when I get out of self. 

I am learning how to become my own loving parent. 

I accomplished researching options to continue my education. 

I delighted in doing things differently, in an unexpected gift from the universe, in spending time connecting with my inner child, and in celebrating my friends who courageously sang in front of a packed house this evening.
