I give thanks for my children, my sweet husband, my lovely friends, my overly-gregarious dogs, my home, the books I've written and those I've read, good reviews that have thrilled me and not-so-good reviews that have taught me, the material resources of my life, the yoga practice that centers me, the spirituality that sustains me. I am grateful that my beautiful, brilliant, hard-working, wonderful stepdaughter was accepted into medical school! Go Julia! I am grateful for the extraordinarily generous donors who have given Parvati Press a start in the world, and I'm grateful for the authors who are coming on board with "the Millennium Falcon" of presses--and thanks to the ever inventive Chris for that image! Parvati Press really can outrun Imperial cruisers and make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I am grateful for the times I get to travel, and ely I am grateful for the cities of Paris and Venice and Rome. And I love living in NYC so I am grateful for this ineluctable Big Apple. I am grateful that I get to write books. Being an author is the coolest thing in the whole universe! I am grateful for my health. I am grateful for those I love and for those who love me, and yes, Gerda, Lori, Michelle, and Jan, I am talking about you. The other ones in the inner circle, you know who you are, and you know that I am thankful to have you in my life. For the unmet friends, unexperienced love, and unknown blessings that are coming into my life, I give thanks, and I praise the Creator, the great sun at the center, for the fullness of it all.
