Epilogue
At lunchtime today, I took a break and ate in the sunshine of my front yard. My dog frolicked in the grass. I threw the ball for her, and she spun around and jumped to catch it in the air. I was wearing a colorful striped top and chased her back and forth across the yard. Gentle spring breezes sent cherry blossoms from the trees in my neighborhood all around us like a living painting. The cherry blossoms dotted the yard with pink and white. A frenzy of pink and green and joy! My morning was full of business calls and talking with my team. In the afternoon, I’ll work out and then go to a happy hour event to chill with friends. I feel happy and free.
My romantic partner and I spend tons of time together. We travel regularly and are excited for more. I love being part of a team. Slow dancing. Eating amazing food. Having someone who helps me be the best and most wholehearted version of myself. I am grateful to have someone deeply kind, brilliant, and loving in my life. We talked about ambition and life goals from the first time we met. We’re aligned about the realities of our today and the optimism of the path into tomorrow. I love charting our roadmap together. Thank you, my love, for living through this wild journey of life with me.
