The weather was fantastic this weekend and we spent most of it outdoors watching the girls in their various sports activities. The 13 year old had 2 lacrosse games and one soccer game this weekend. It's amazing to see how much she's improved over the past few years. I remember when she first started playing soccer she was more interested in the dandelion on the field or the plane overhead than the ball in play. Now, she's the starting center-mid and so focused and physical. It's been three years since she's been playing lacrosse, and that first year she ran around the field with her stick but was so wary of getting near the ball lest she get whacked with a stick. Now, she's in the middle of the action, stick poised, not afraid. I love the process of it all!
The 8 year old and I happened to watch a track meet recently and she's decided she wants to be a runner when she grows up. Not wanted to quash her dreams, I found a local track club and she had her first day running relays and laps at the Stanford track today, loving the feel of the runner's high. She can't wait until next week and is trying to run around in all the shoes she owns to see which ones will be fastest for next week's run.

About Me
- Sonam
- I'm at an interesting point in my life. I'm responsible not only for myself but for my girls and dog as well. I've now known my husband for more than half of my life and continue to adore him as much now as I did when I was a teen (and then some). I've experienced enough to know that money and a career is nice but doesn't define happiness. I sometimes question the existence of a God but feel deeply spiritual and crave the peace that comes with meditations and shlokas. I continue to want more kindness from myself and those around me but recognize that sometimes, it might just be from me and that's ok. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up and love that each day brings something new.
