My daily gratitude for:

1. Liz and I’s awesome date night at Bombetta, with great pasta and a stunningly good super Tuscan and a delightful dessert…but most of all with my wife!
2. Suzi Byrd’s deeply sacred compassion and big heart as our weekend chaplain and as a colleague.
3. Participating and collaborating with DEI efforts for spiritual care at TCH.
4. Michelle Lawsons leadership of Patient Family Services and the opportunity to have worked for her after she hired me on!
5. Monica Tijerina, a CICU RN who is bubbly and funny and consistently excellent in the care of the children there.
6. Henrietta Lacks, whose cells have blessed millions and millions in medical breakthroughs. Her legacy, though she never knew it, is astounding.
7. The ability to give another human being the opportunity to be seen and heard deeply.
8. The coffee beans from Java Pura I just started, called Inmaculada Farmers blend. Really really delish!
