what-a-week gratitude

so…let’s recap: bag stolen, first live tv appearance an insane semi-debacle, live radio interview, fun yoga party, jaunt to connecticut, yoga workshop, going-away day for company’s founder, six-month oncology test, krishna das, and more! my remaining brain cells are grateful for:

1) another six months of relief and health

2) the incredibly purifying experience of a massive krishna das concert

3) dancing, chanting, dancing, chanting

4) dr. z.

5) all sorts of crazy coincidental cross-meetings and things

6) kirtan wallah gossip over nice talk and great dumplings

7) e. for being my waiting room buddy and bringing magazines. and a cookie. j. for the gluten-free cookie and support.

8) candle cafe’s paradise casserole

9) frrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy

10) my unbelievably awesomely supportive peoples

11) the view of the river from the q train

12) the nice man at aveda for helping me with lipstick. yes, i would like to try the nude lip, thank you. so nice to be tended. and complimented on my lips. and made up.

13) kd’s thing about visiting a family that could yell at each other without the fear of being “thrown out of each other’s hearts.” the idea that you can have conflict full of love-presence.
