My mom was so big on birthdays, and whenever we get into birthday season at my house I miss her all over again (1938-2003, Martha Glessing)…she would be very proud of my kids and all of the good they are doing right now. She would be disappointed in all the clutter I can’t seem to get rid of around my house! And she would go on a walk on the beach with me, tomorrow.

As I look into this next year, with my third eye I see challenges; bright shining breakthroughs with the kids and family; a kind of being constant with me and all of my professional endeavors; and more friendships than I have given time for in the past.

Lately I’ve been making friends and this feels very good. For so many years, I didn’t give friendships much space. This year, I seem to be connecting better with all of my women friends! I love this. Re-connecting with my Palo Alto High School Class of 1979 buddies is good, too.

I am not sure what is next but I’m pretty sure things are going to be interesting. What’s the alternative? Mom knows, I’m not ready to know!
