Without your genius and vision, I would not have created a podcast. Or the world’s first food podcast channel. On iTunes. The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world…are the ones who do. You did, and for that I thank you.
At 12:01 AM on January 1, 2010, I had no idea what was in store for the coming year. I chose to be open to whatever, and hoped things would largely work out for the better, but felt like I essentially knew where I was headed. 12 months later, I sit here with an entirely different existence than what I had envisioned. And for that, I’m grateful. This has been the most extraordinary, challenging, adventurous, soul-enriching year of my life to date, and with that has come catharsis. Since lots of people post their lists of things at the end…
I have a new machine, a renewed spirit, and a new way of seeing the world. Thanks to you.
In what has been one of the most trying weeks of my life, I’ve learned more about the goodness of people than I had ever hoped to find.
What makes your soul smile? What makes you jump out of bed in the morning ready to kick ass and take names?
My (non)kids range from 1 1/2 to 31 years old, and I’ve been around them as long as they’ve been around. Being an aunt rocks. Also? I get to give them back.
If you are one of those crazy ones, and you have a vision that makes you burn with passion, I salute you and everything you represent in this world. It is you to whom I look for inspiration on my dark days, and you to whom I raise my glass on the bright ones.
Six years ago today, I experienced one of those moments that will stand out as a big red dot on the timeline of my life.
Today is Ayn Rand’s 105th birthday. I wish she were alive right now to see how many hundreds of thousands of people are reading her books. And so she could say “I told you so.”
