Today I don’t even know how to share the fullness of my heart.
How do I begin to convey the sheer pleasure of a sunshiney, springtime day spent with friends in New York?
Yes, I was working. I spent FOUR hours reviewing a presentation on audio systems for events. And yes, this review of audio systems left me deliriously happy. (Um, have I ever mentioned I’m a geek?) Afterwards, I enjoyed a peaceful lunch talking marketing strategies and future visions for my tech company while drinking in the sounds and sights of Bryant Park.
I then had the immense pleasure of traveling through the cool little streets along Wall Street on my way to visiting a brilliant, award-winning Green Meetings passionista who works for a financial services firm. To me, he is like a brilliant diamond peeking its beautiful face out of the mirrors of the high-rise windows.
After our meeting, I was surprised to receive the kindest, most generous offer to present us as speakers for the firm’s women’s conference. Holy cow – how amazing is that?????!!!!!
After Wall Street, I headed to the Palm for a quick drink, drowned in the raucous, happy sounds of the historic bar; followed by a lovely dinner. Yes, this too was work. I discussed some ideas with a genius mentor that could be the greatest “game-changer” of my young professional life!!
Finally, I rode the train (a novelty for someone from SoCal) to the “Machuchen” station in NJ, discussing business strategy and vision all along the way.
Indulging in a custom of stopping at a bar after getting off the train, I was lucky to finish my day by helping a lovely, most cherished (but slightly phobic) friend cross “Singing Karaoke” off her bucket list with a collaborative version of Don’t Stop Believing.
Because who doesn’t love Journey?
whatta day. I want to name the people I am so grateful to, these people who helped illustrate just exactly how charmed a life I live. But, nah. I think I’ll just figure out how to pay it forward instead.
I’ll show my love and gratitude by sharing it with those who need it most. I only wish I’d had more time, I missed seeing three more people who mean so much to me.
Because these folks, they are the ones who already get it…as is evident in the joy, kindness, love, passion, fun they shared with me today (or would have, for the ones I missed). They know who they are. Now I just need to find the forward command for sharing their love.
My life. My work. My joy.
I. am. blessed.
and so are you.
