I am grateful that I had a father who loved me unconditionally for 34 years. We will greatly miss my dad, my daughter’s grandpa Greg. We lost him way too soon, but we are grateful to have had the time with him and will live in our hearts forever.

My husband won an award at law school! I’m so proud of him. He worked so hard this semester. I’m happy his work was recognized by his professors. (And I’m happy that he still made time for me and the kids!)

Huge gratitude to Dr. Neff and all the folks at GGSC for making the webcast possible. I gathered around the flatscreen with three dear friends, and we worked the self-compassion all day long! What a great way to spend the day.
