matter.

sometimes we forget how much we matter. how much our words matter. how much our presence matters. how much our work matters. how much our friendship matters. how much our love matters. we humans forget. over and over. we forget and we need each other to remember. to remember all kinds of things.

as if sent by the divine, my lovely neighbor stopped me this morning and said - thank you for your emails (daily bliss), they really mean a lot to me. those words, coming from her, really mattered to me this morning. and my words matter to her. it was just a really meaningful moment of she & I mattering to each other.

in the face of so much inner turmoil that we all face right now because of the outer turbulence in our world, don’t forget how much you matter.

and of course, your vote matters today. all of our votes matter.
