Loved

I know i'm loved. by lots of different people...but specifically i'm feeling especially loved by the WMF Omaha community right now.

I got to spend the weekend with them. it was fantastic. i mean, in some ways, nothing special...lunch with the crew, dinner, a commissioning service, long chats with Liz and Marcia (and their Roomie Brittney) who were gracious enough to welcome me and Merilee into their home. i got to meet the WMF board...and some other staff who was commissioned and will be leaving for their new homes in the next few months.

and while there wasn't anything spectacular about the weekend - it was so good. and significant. incredibly significant. Over and over i was affirmed. I felt loved. like i was being welcomed into a new family...and like i was already "home" all at the same time. Amanda explained the process of joining WMF staff like we're taking steps toward WMF, and they're taking steps toward us. This decision has been made for awhile. I'm a part of WMF...and yet i loved this weekend -this "ceremony" of welcome...knowing members of my community better...meeting some for the first time...and feeling oh so loved along the way.

weekend trip to Omaha...my expectations were high, incredibly high...and you did not disappoint.
