I wanted to share some of the faces that have looked back at me when I asked if I could take their picture. They are a  reminder to me to show up and be engaged in the lives of others. I mean, look at these seventh graders I spoke to about writing memoir – don’t they make you smile?

Here’s a woman who works at Planned Parenthood, providing patient care to those in vulnerable circumstances. Her commitment and love was beautiful.

Here’s my friend as we enjoyed food and sunshine together recently. And boy, was my savory waffle breakfast delicious!

I’m so grateful for the faces looking back at me, they make so happy! Which leads me to ask myself, can I be a face that uplifts others? Can I be that right now, not in some distant future when everything is going exactly as I planned? Have I told the faces how much I appreciate them?

I’ll leave you with two of my favorite furry faces. Have a wonderful day and thank you for being you. Love, Molly
