birthday portrait
09.09.2009: 37, inspired, & pregnant
we arrived in texas on the eve of my birthday and i rang in my 37th year surrounded by all of my family. my adorable cousins (who are all young enough to be my kids), aunts, uncles, parents and of course, bethel, the sweetest sister in the world.
i was moved to tears, humbled, to be so genorously celebrated by their warmth, love, and laughter.
being home was healing and good for me in so many ways. i feel a wholeness and a heightened awareness of how we can be uplifted, our lives enriched by others. for me, it is an undeniable reminder that love cures.
