Toasting you from NY!
Happy Belated Birthday Dominic!
Greetings from New York! I came back from my vacation to this wonderful connection idea -- creating space for both giving and receiving. I feel honored to be a part of this group in celebrating YOU!
What I gave away during my vacation was precious time. I spent a lot of time with my brother who is wheelchair and home bound, now experiencing a dark passage in his life. While I felt tired and needed rejuvenating alone time, I instead chose to take him on a vacation get-away to his favorite place in the world - Rondeau Park -- a place that fills his soul with sparkle and delight! Just seeing his reaction to the simple pleasures of beautiful mother nature, all dressed in her autumn colored finery, was enough to replenish both his and my energy. He called the place "God's paradise on earth".
And so Dominic, my cherished friend, that is how I wish to salute you - in acknowledging your generous, kind heart in supporting and inspiring others to step into their own self-created paradise that allows the splendor of authentic dialogue, forgiveness and community-building to radiate. Truly the world (and my world) is a better place with you in it!
Much love
Elizabeth
