My finger vs. the serrated blade. I think my finger would have lost had the blade been straight. This way, though, it was just a gouge more than a clean cut. Who knew I had taken my left ring finger for granted all these years. It helps me do lots of things. I'm somewhat inspired to write an ode.

Dear 2008,

I’m super excited to meet you. As with any relationship, I’m sure I’m full of expectations that I won’t even know about until you either fulfill them or don’t.
You will teach me new things, and past lessons will make sense. I will learn how much I don’t know, and also realize that I know more about some things than I think I do. Whatever “my work” looks like will start to come together in a tangible way….moving from ideas to action. More blood and sweat than ever. Slow and steady. I will not let fear stop me.
There will cooking, of course. At home. With friends at my table. I will be more intentional about Community. I crave it. I have it.
There will be art. There will be Process. And dreams will come to fruition in ways I would never imagine. My Story will unfold and I will choose to live it because it is mine.
We’ve got 355 more days together. Let’s do this thing.
Lots of love to you,
Larisa
