Rejoicing Practice: Reflection on our Interconnectedness

I’ve been lucky to be a part of some really cool projects lately 👀

What’s struck me most is how many hands 🖐🏾🖐🏼🖐🏿🖐🏻can come together to bring a single person’s vision to life.

With lots of help and changes along the way, collaboration turns something good into something great. 💎

I think about that often.

How many hands have touched my life. 🤲

In the obvious ways with the people I encounter and work with in my day to day

And in the more subtle ways that I’ll overlook if I’m moving too fast.

In any given moment there have been thousands of people and thousands of decisions that have shaped the world I live in. 🌸

The floors proudly laid down by skilled craftspeople, the paint and lighting picked out to create a soothing atmosphere, the people who weaved the blankets I lie with and the clothes I lie in, the scientists and engineers that designed and tested all the products I use, the cooks who provided the food, the farmers who farmed it, the indigenous keepers of the lands I walk on today.

So. Many. Hands.

If I pause for a second, I can feel them here with me, and it’s enough to bring tears to my eyes.

The whole universe conspiring in my favor ✨

The whole of humanity conspiring in yours.

How lucky we are, how connected we are, how much my success depends on yours. 🤝

How your greatness, and your brilliance in whatever you’re naturally pulled towards creates greatness and brilliance in the lives of others. ☀️

Woah. Take a moment to let it all sink in.

I hope you let yourself be transformed by gratitude today. 🥲

Your life will feel better for it.

With love,
Lindsay
