Hello!

How are you on this beautiful Thursday?

It is April, and I really do LOVE this month here in NYC. There is such an amazing feeling of growth and possibility…and while that is AWESOME, sometimes changes can feel (honestly) pretty crappy in the moment.

As some of you may know, my dear sweet cat Junior passed away last week. He was my little fuzzy best friend for nearly 12 years, and while it was devastating to watch the little guy be sick, I do now feel a sense of relief for many reasons:

1. I feel beyond blessed to have had so many wonderful times with him. He was just awesome, funny and a crazy little one eyed guy.
2. He is not suffering anymore. There is nothing worse than seeing our furry friends not feel well:(
3. Everything FEELS different now in my home. It’s eerily quiet and I miss the energy that he provided.

Now I have a choice in this moment to be sad/mad/depressed about the fact that he is gone, or I can CHOOSE to feel grateful for all the love, energy and hilarious moments that he gave to me.

I choose gratitude. I choose love.

I will miss him forever, but I do still “talk” to him (and yes, in my weird animal voice that some of my friends hate! But some love!).

I choose to view this time, and how PERFECT that it is spring, as a time of accepting what is, being READY for new experiences in my life, and focusing on all of the amazing love that I do have in my life. And I do have…A LOT!

Since I can’t give you all a BIG OL’HUG, what I can do is give you an arm workout…think of it as a hug from me AND from the most handsome one eyed guy ever: Junior (aka Monkey biz, aka biz, aka my special fuzzy guy)

Sending YOU all of my love!

XOXO
