This is a beautiful article! And I really appreciate your reflections on blessed/lucky/fortunate... I've struggled with the same idea - feeling blessed AND lucky AND fortunate, but why me? Why not everyone? Is it part of how we're learning to hold grief alongside gratitude, and somehow that is where we find the blessing/luck/fortune? Thank you so much for writing this.
Thank you Rebecca! It’s been confusing for me for forever, and not sure I still completely get it, but now since we wrestled with it in this post, I think I’m headed in the right direction. Glad it was helpful!
This is so beautiful. When my mum died last year, I made a choice to look for awe, to seek out wonder, and that helped me move through that period. That grief and gratitude can co-exist and help each other out is such a striking thought.

Beautiful, as always ❤️
Grateful to know you!
I posit that serendipity is fleeting and sometimes unrecognizable to the naked eye…..
And I think that’s one of the best things about it, Vinny! I like the element of surprise.
Right back at you Chris!!
