This is a photo of me with Zoe, who's the two-week old daughter of Karen and Todd, my cousin and her husband. As you can see, Zoe is so precious! I haven't been so regular about blog updates, but wanted to post this, because what could be more joyful than a baby and her brand new life? I'm more grateful than ever to live in the same city as K + T (and now Z).
On another note, I recently came across this old favorite from Martha Graham and thought it very appropriate for the New Year. But, actually, it's always appropriate. Enjoy! And happy New Year!
'"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open..."
