Contentment.

The knowing that what you have right here and right now is the right amount.

It is enough.

Breathe out.

Discontent.

The feeling that what you have or what you are is not enough.

Breathe it out and feel the lightness of your sacred body.

Without the weight of expectation.

Of urgency.

Of lack.

Of striving.

When you allow your body and your mind to breathe and to contemplate this question without pressure,

Without urgency,

Without lack,

Then the answer is not something purchasable.

Not something that is for sale.

Not something exchangeable for cash or for credit.

We have the unique ability to curate and enhance our spaces.

The spaces in our communities,

In our homes,

In our rooms,

The spaces in our minds,

In our thoughts,

In our emotions,

In our spirit.

May we mindfully curate these spaces.

May we responsibly curate these spaces.

May we respectfully curate these spaces.

May we joyfully curate these spaces.

As you move throughout this day,

May you recognize the resources that already exist within yourself to create beautiful spaces.

And with that I say congratulations to everybody.

Thank you.
