A Year of Yes: How to find your tribe

March 3, 2018March 2, 2018 Christa Avampato

This. This is how you find your tribe:

some people
when they hear
your story.
contract.
others
upon hearing
your story.
expand.
and
this is how
you
know.
~Nayyirah Waheed, poet

This is the face of a girl who is elated to go pick up her beloved dog at the hospital! Phin's biopsy results will arrive next week. He responded better than the doctors expected to high dose prednisone (just like I did with my chemo lungs) so he can come home now. We will love and treasure every moment of every day, as we always do. We carry on. We keep moving forward. We find and create the light and joy where we can, for ourselves and for others. The force is strong in us, and will continue to be! A million thanks for your love, messages, and good vibes for sweet Phinny. I am more grateful than I could ever say. Shouts to his incredible medical team at @amcny.❤️❤️❤️ Today we witnessed a horrific historic moment in the U.S. A majority of the SCOTUS decided guns & zygotes have more rights than women. Another big healing milestone (at least for me). After growing my hair for about a year after chemo, I can safely color it again! I went with @madisonreed because it has very few chemicals and lots of nourishing ingredients. I hoped it would come out a bit more copper but my natural is dark brown so one lightening step at a time. It also left my chemo curls a la the 1920s petal soft.❤️ This week has been about change. I was a finalist for a fellowship & 2 bursaries for grad school but didn't get any of them. So self-funding at least the first year. On this Summer Solstice, I'm thinking about all of the wisdom around joy and travel that @sabartinelli packed into The Joy of Airports episode on the JoyProject podcast. Here are some of my favorite quotes. Listen to our conversation at https://christaavampato.com/the-joy-of-airports-with-felicia-sabartinelli-june-14-2022/ & wherever you get your podcasts. Link in bio. Phineas and I had such a blast today taking over the @wethedogsnyc Instagram account. We started the day at @peakybarista w/ @themindfulrebels & @cityslkrz & visited @centralparknyc @fredsny @amnh @arthousehotelnyc @blacklabnyc. Hellooooooo out there! It's Phineas & I'm popping onto my Mom's account to tell you we're taking over the @wethedogsnyc Instagram account tomorrow (Sunday) to show you my ideal day in our Upper West Side neighborhood in NYC. I always love to see my friend, mentor, and science / #dinosaur hero @kennethlacovara whenever he's in town. Went to @sidgolds for the 1st time & got to meet @joemcginty7 of The Psychedelic Furs fame. (@lesliegoshko, I've got to get to one of your Saturday shows!) Topped off with a visit to the @the_explorers_club where I met Ken 5 years ago for the first time & we had a conversation that promoted me to pursue a new career path in environmental sustainability. The Universe works in mysterious ways.... This week's Joyful News episode on the JoyProject podcast is all about dinosaurs!
