Dear Steve

I could likely write you a letter every day for a year and still not be done with how much gratitude I have for you. I’m going to limit myself to once per month, although I might not keep to this. In general, so much of what I do and experience as joyful in life has been, in some way, introduced to me by you. Including the idea of daily love letters. Sustainability, living close to the earth, community, ecovillages, gratitude practices, nonviolent communication, primal diet, are just a few of the things I can think of right now. How manay times have I said, I’m thinking about this or that, adn you give me the names of 2 or 3 books that you have on those topics? Just last week it was two. Just last week. I am so grateful to have found someone who shares my way off the beaten path beliefs about health and self-care. I was already so distant from the standard thinking, that finding someone who matched me, let alone offering me more was so unlikely. To have that person look like my childhood heartthrob is sometimes, 25 years in, still relatively unbelievable to me. I find you absolutely gorgeous on the outside and that beauty is surpassed by how absolutely gorgeous and kind you are on the inside. For me to be the one you share this thing called partnership with occurs to me as a miracle. And it wasn’t a given when we met. Thank you for your persistence and working through our healing together to share the fun, intimacy, depth of connection, compassion, respect and trust that we do. More to follow…
