I so appreciate all the time my dad & brother took installing the new storm door. They are so generous with their time, energy, and expertise!
Meeting clients at my favorite coffee shop. There are so so so many reasons I love my work!
Exciting rehearsal with the Earthtones – just one more rehearsal before our December shows start. 🙂
My toaster has a smiley face inside of it! Smiley mornings! 😀
More wonderful work with my lovely clients. What an amazing job I have. 🙂
Thinking about the people in my life. I am continually astonished by my great good fortune to know and love people who regularly inspire, amuse, and delight me. I am so lucky. ❤
My completely awesome job. I get to do work I love with people I love. So lucky!
Getting to see and talk with John today! How great are video chats? So great! 🙂
Finding time for a walk today. Ohhhhhhhh that sunshine. I love the late afternoon quietness of the city after kids get out from school and before folks are getting home from work. Bliss.
Sweet, misty, sleepy morning. I like this time of changing weather!
My wonderful, inspiring clients. I was a little fuzzy today, not sure how much work I’d accomplish after another not-so-sleep-filled night, but after researching reasons that giving is good for our health for one newsletter, and reading and finding images for another truly beautiful newsletter/blog, I find I have more energy now than I did when I got up this morning.
Ellen Swanson’s energy, passion, gentleness, and wonderful work. Every single interaction I have with her makes me smile. Yes, even our business as usual emails about getting things done. I am so lucky to get to work with her. I can’t recommend her work highly enough. You can read her thoughtful and thought-provoking blog here: healingthehierarchy.com/blog/ (and you can learn about and buy her book, Heart, Gut, Head: Creating a Healthier Hierarchy.) If you like it, please share it with others. It is changing my world!
Day 333 of my 3rd year of appreciations, obviously. So many threes! 😉
A productive morning getting more work done on the first room. Guess who knows how to tape a corner bead now? Yup, it’s me. Well, so does Mckenzie. 🙂
We also learned that I already have (and was able to locate!) all the tools we’ll need for the various parts of this project – hack saw, miter box, jigsaw, putty knives, caulk gun, tin snips. Each time we found one of the necessary tools, it was like finding a little treasure!
My Dad’s enthusiasm for helping and showing me how to fix up the room – I’ve never built a custom frame for a window before. Fun!
Wonderful visit with some of the cheezy folks today. It is so great to get a chance to reconnect like this!
Lovely walk with Suz, complete with awesome butterfly dance sighting. At first our little friend was camera shy and wouldn’t sit still, but then we got lucky.
Feeling lighter, happier, and more hopeful than I’ve felt in awhile. Mmmmmm. Nice.
Last month’s purply spreadsheet (though now that I think about it, I should have done Pride rainbow colors!) 🙂 I think greens for July. Oh, how I love to invent fun for myself!
Fabulous lunch/meeting with Melinda today. What good plans we are planning!
Miraculously completing both my newsletter (and associated new web pages) AND all my invoices while it is still technically July 1. Now I’ll just need to sleep for 12 hours… 😉
Last month’s purply-bluesy appreciation spreadsheet. 😉
Thundery rainy fun day.
My fun job. I get to learn new stuff all the time, teach people stuff, help people reach their goals, and meet the coolest people. More fun client meetings today!
Curly hair, stamps, cinnamon, ducks, herons, heroines, camp fires, rivers, bacon, art.
Discovering Gravity Glue. These awe-inspiring and beautiful sculptures and photos by Michael Grab fill me with a sense of wonder and peace. Now that is a kind of meditation I could totally get into!
Getting to work with people I really, really like and support them in work that I think is super cool. What a good job!
My kids. I love listening to their goofy banter, hanging out with them, knowing them. I am so lucky. ❤
The guy directing traffic in the liquor store parking lot who was dressed up in pantaloons and a plumed hat, and did awesome fancy-dancy moves to direct the cars. Stones, rainbow shoelaces, synchronicities, Schenectady (it is just so fun to say!), peppermint.
Little game of peekaboo with the sun today. 
There it is! Wait – no. Yes. No! Doh!
The sun settling on being out at last. Hooray!
One completed slipper. Time to start on the next one!
Sticky notes in rainbow colors.
Liking my clients and my work so so so much. How lucky I am.
Looking forward to weekend social plans. Friend time. Hooray!
Cheetahs, trees, gluten-free pasta that doesn’t fall apart, rows and rows of tulips, the smell of freshly ground coffee, laughing so hard my eyes water, the fact that my todo list says resume work, meaning work on my résumé, but looks like it is just time to go back to work.
Really satisfying days of work. I love that I get to do and learn so many interesting things and feel like I’m helping people while I do it.
The balmy 30º weather today. Well, balmy except for the freeeeeezing wind whipping around. 😉
Clean car!!!! OMG how thrilling to finally wash the salt off my baby.
Debb & Ivan. ❤
