Gratitude.

My gratitude to the following people does not indicate their endorsement of my thoughts, insights and work.

……………………….

Thank you Sri Gurumayi Chidvilasananda for teaching me how to be informed by nature’s rhythms, how to live modern life rooted in culture and ancient wisdom, and how to find a home within myself and be my own best friend. My work is possible, and I live in the sweet spot of joy, contribution, creativity and wealth through your grace, guidance and love. Thank you.

Thank you to my dear husband John Day Barnett who constantly supports my creative impulses and “ushiness.” Your kindness is unparalleled. You are a true partner in this privilege and beautiful mess of parenthood. Thank you to my sons Rayam and Nikhil. Your smiles, boundless energy, and mischief are brilliant. You inspire presence and enthusiasm. You bring out the best in me. You’ve put me in touch with the gift of life.

Thank you to my mom and dad for believing in me, resourcing me and encouraging my dreams. I miss you every day Dad, but I also get to know and love you in another way — and that is the continuation of your generosity and compassion.

Thank you to Juliana, Kristi, Monselete and Tim for helping me to stay true to who I am, reminding me that I have the power of choice, and reflecting all my great qualities back to me.
