At a dinner this December in the city, I heard a toast that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. It was offered by our new friend Jeff to our dear friend Keith. Keith was being thanked for showing up time and time again, during the most important and challenging moments of Jeff’s life. What stuck in my memory was that Jeff wasn’t focused on any profound piece of advice or special gift he had received. By just showing up, Keith was able to deeply impact someone else's life.

As a person who can complicate just about anything, the simplicity of this is perfect. Just show up - for myself, my marriage, my children, my family and my friends.

Thank you dinner friends for enlightening this gal who can easily convince herself that she always has to do more than just show up. Happy 2020 everyone.
