Monday we had our first big meeting of the year. I love them. Incredible people from all over the county gather together to share ideas and updates. It is a place where real magic happens and I love being a part of it.
When I arrived at the meeting there were already a sea of people there. They all greeted me with big smiles. Slowly, I noticed the scarves, hats, bandannas, and fun head bands adorning heads all over the room. These amazing people, whom I have so much respect for did this for me. Professionals that I have known since I was in high school, others that I have known and worked with over the course of my career, and some that I have only recently met all came together and orchestrated this beautiful act of kindness for me.
They let me know without saying a word that they believe in me, that they know my struggle, and that they support me.
I felt the tears, I was so moved. I don't know how to adequately describe the feeling of that morning. To be so wrapped in love and solidarity touched me in a way that I cannot describe. I will never be able to say thank you eloquently enough to truly define how much your gesture meant to me.
I can tell you that I will hold that memory in my heart always, and that it will make me brave - even when I am not.
Thank you all for taking my breath away, and rendering me speechless.
