Unforgettable

Things from this weekend's retreat that I will never forget:

• Seeing my chocolate chip cookies work their magic right before my eyes.
• Listening to my beloved friend, Fatou, laugh with delight. Again and again and again.
• Catching giant snowflakes on my tongue in Times Square.
• Watching Wicked on Broadway while sitting between two of my greatest loves.
• Setting the oven mitt on fire.
• Acting out my fantasy to lead a hands-in-the-middle group cheer.
• Going all-forks-in with amazing women on an equally amazing chocolate cake.
• Every smile, each embrace, every opening and beginning.
• The way love makes us brave, and the way--with courage and togetherness--we make dreams come true.
