Oh my gosh! This feels like a badge I am undeserving of, but really honoured to receive, Brandon. Just calling it as I see it. I understand why that pastor asked you to help with his congregation ... you wield words to create better worlds. The world needs more of you to take up John O'Donohue's mantle.

Ditto. and our little editing posse! It was the energy and motivation that Brooke and you brought to our weekly egging on that kept me going at a crucial moment in my rhythm. I am so grateful for the two of you.

As I got to numbers 5 and on i realized how lucky I am to be surrounded by such generous, creative and wonderful people in my life. And as I added my headmistress, across so many decades of my life. Each item broadened my smile further!

I really do recommend writing a list of 50 gratitudes, James. You get to include the little with the immense, no boundaries.

Thank you for including me in your gratitude list, Karena. What a beautiful practice. I'm grateful for our inspirational creative accelerator and all that will come from mapping unknown territory with a band of like-minded explorers.

I'm grateful for the 50.5 years that I've had with my beloved Gramma and I'm grateful I get to travel to Kentucky this month to let my sons spend just a few more minutes with her.

Cassandra - what a treasure, to have the company and wisdom of a grandmother and great-grandmother into your adult days. May this be a very special moment for your family.
