A big day

It is a big day today.

My youngest daughter, Liseanne, graduates from University today. This child, who 23 short years ago was pulled from my womb, kicking and screaming and making quite a fuss, will walk the stage in mortar and gown and accept her degree later this morning.

It is a big day.

For everyone.

A joyous, exciting and amazing day.

But first, I must run off to give a presentation to a group of city police officers. And then, I must return to pick up C.C. and LeLe (lee-lee) as we call her at home, to go off to the University.

And while I must run off to business, my excitement runs high. My anticipation, my wonder, my joy of this moment flows over!

Not that we weren't anticipating she would graduate. It's not that at all. It is that she set a goal, kept moving towards it, kept achieving what she'd set out to do -- and excelled. Dean's List. Invited to apply for an Internship. Group Leader. Student mentor. She has excelled.

I am so proud.

She is one amazing young woman of heart, of dreams, of compassion and hope.

She came into this world kicking and screaming, and she's still kicking up her heels, screaming in delight and making a huge fuss about living life to the full and in the midst of her living it up, teaching others how to do the same.

I am so proud.

May everyone have a day of wonder -- and I promise, I'll post photos :)

Namaste.
