yesterday i was attacked, on two separate occasions, by a large amount of hugs from children. one set of eight year olds and one set of ten year olds. these hugs were so overwhelming that i very nearly collapsed as a result of the intensity.

moments like that fill me with a sense of pure happiness and sheer joy. and make me so thankful.

some things

news has slowly been trickling out that i'm no longer moving overseas at the end of the month. and the reactions have ranged from extreme disappointment to acceptance to elation. everyone had their own opinion to make about my decision, but the best came in the form of wise wisdom (via Shoghi Effendi) to "act as though you made the right decision."

and so far, things have been going smoothly and i think i just might be headed in the right direction. and for that, i am so thankful.

this blog post by john mayer is phenomenal. love it.

also, i am newly in love with coconut records.
