Well, now you're going to make me cry. I'm so glad you feel lifted; that's high praise, and exactly what I was hoping for when these little vignettes started pouring out of me this week. 🥰 P.S. My grandma Ladish (my dad's mom) was a master gardener for most of her adult life. You two would have been fast friends. 🌱💛
Such a wonderful tribute to some truly phenomenal women; I'm honored to know them and you and am perpetually grateful for how you've taken the best from each of them.
I love to image of this part "first to model what it looks like to be a part of a widening circle" — to imagine a community that is growing, is being tending to, that is flourishing — I love thinking about community as a widening circle, rather than community as static. Thank you Kerri for your writing and prompts!
I love every bit of this post. The absolutely most joyous health care worker I've interacted with (and only one I've submitted a positive comment about, let alone twice) was the mammographer at Walter Reed. She is human sunshine. Amazing. And she'd fit nicely into my favorite part of this post, the idea to list interactions that have shaped us. I'm going to get right on that and yes, make it a running list.
What a joy it was this morning to open my email and find this in it . Thank you for sharing yourself with us exactly as you are .
Thank *you* for reading, and for always leaving such wonderful(ly supportive) comments. 💛
This was an absolutely lovely thing to read. I feel so lifted just from participating in taking it in. You are such a gift. 💕💕💕

I almost wrote about how Grandma Snell welcomed you into the family the first time you two met, but figured I'd save that for a future story. ;)
