I&#8217;ve learned to be grateful for what I have and not always crave more. I&#8217;ve discovered there is mystery around every corner and I don&#8217;t know as much as I think I do. I&#8217;ve discovered that wanting to parent a child is not for everyone, but it sweeps your life into the extraordinary. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve become ever so grateful for when things go wrong because it helps me let go of one more certainty, which is incredibly freeing. <\/p>\n<p>So as the minutes, hours, days, weeks arrive, I will allow each their own magical unfolding and greet what awaits with a sense of awe. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/1375916_10151878214757226_1089239308_n.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18882\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.dangermond.org\/?attachment_id=18882\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/1375916_10151878214757226_1089239308_n.jpg?fit=600%2C700\" data-orig-size=\"600,700\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"1375916_10151878214757226_1089239308_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/1375916_10151878214757226_1089239308_n.jpg?fit=600%2C700\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/1375916_10151878214757226_1089239308_n.jpg?resize=600%2C700\" alt=\"1375916_10151878214757226_1089239308_n\" width=\"600\" height=\"700\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/1375916_10151878214757226_1089239308_n.jpg?w=600 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.dangermond.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/1375916_10151878214757226_1089239308_n.jpg?resize=257%2C300 257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow morning I begin a new project\/new client with multiple deadlines over the course of the next few weeks.
