Dear 2014,

You were the best kind of bonkers and I love you for it. You filled your months with change and your days with grace. Your first sunrise illuminated the Kansas sky and your last sunset fell asleep to the lullaby of wild China traffic. You were a wonder, 2014 - a Russian doll of unexpected, undeserved gifts.

Thank you for the gift of fresh, mountain air - for evenings around the table with the deepest, truest laughter and nights of soul-sharing under the stars with irreplaceable people who know every corner of who I am.

Thank you for your piercing blue spring days and Monday evenings of whispered truths

Thank you for PNW reunions, the redwood forest, and flat-stanleys -

Thank you for the most epic summer of holy matrimony, my ability to shamelessly ugly cry, crackle-laughing with my Tabor sisters, and two-stepping with my brothers from other mothas.

Thank you for teaching me game-changing, simple math and the power to live in light of it.

Thank you for sustaining me through the final, hard months of social twerkin via rainbow sunsets and THE MOST EPIC JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE CONCERT OF ALL TIME.

Thank you for one-way tickets, my little Asians, this grand Chinese adventure, HOT POT, revelation and calling, group iMessages with my #BBAB(s), soul-work and visions of the places my Shepherd is leading. What a wild, wonderful thing it is to have my heart call so many places HOME.
