Wonder: Let the holiday lights shine

December 25, 2016December 25, 2016 Christa Avampato

Whether the light in your home today is from a Christmas tree, a menorah, or the fireplace on Netflix, I hope it shines brightly and gives you hope, happiness, and strength.

  • Big dreams are built from small actions. What’s your dream? What’s the one small thing you’ll do today to get yours… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 6 hours ago

I just completed a challenging jigsaw puzzle of Frida Kahlo that I started with my mom when she was here visiting last week. It got me thinking about dreams. All dreams are built by small pieces put together one after another after another. Small steps forward in a clear, focused direction. Tiny actions that each make the full picture clearer. The final product is greater than the sum of its parts. My latest on @medium - Wall Street is coming for our water: A cautionary tale from Colorado. What happens there now in this situation affects all of us, especially those in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Link to story in bio and here https://link.medium.com/RtbNCvH33wb My hair is now long enough to put into a high ponytail. So I say this in the loudest, most defiant voice possible: #fuckcancer! Here's to healing! With many people now looking for jobs and applying to grad school, this is your reminder that imposter syndrome is a tool of the patriarchy. You are a talented, radiant, intelligent person with heart. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Go out into the world like a lantern and shine.💕 It was exactly the kind of party Pop would have loved -- his family and friends telling stories about the good times and laughing. Pop, you are so loved and so missed. What an example of a life well lived and well loved. We'll carry on as best we can. Thank you for everything.💕 Some stress eat or stress clean. Me? I stress read. I shouldn't be allowed to go to @nypl by myself. I want alllllll the books!😅 Today's haul are all by women authors. Happy reading and happy weekend, friends! Can an essay about economics be so beautiful that it moves readers (and listeners) to happy, inspired tears? Yes. Yes, it can. This one by Robin Wall Kimmerer in @emergencemagazine about the gift economy of nature and indigenous communities glitters with joy, wisdom, and hope. A just and fair economy does not lie in scarcity and accumulation. It lives in the realm of abundance and generosity. This is how we innovate capitalism and solve climate change challenges. https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-serviceberry/ Whenever I see this beautiful handwriting in my mailbox, I know I'm about to get a hefty dose of inspiration. Thank you @karyndaleylay! Love you & so excited to write with the @writerswritingalonetogether community this year.💗💗💗 In the midst of reading Beloved Economies: Transforming How We Work by Jess Rimington and Joanna L. Cea. This excellent book, at its heart, is about how to innovate capitalism so it's a fair, equitable, just, and loving system. Very inspiring research. Excited to put this into action in my own graduate school research at @cambridgeuniversity.
