I just got back from a nice and snowy walk with my son. It was an extra special one because today marked Cleveland’s first big snow storm of the year — so we were really appreciating the falling snow and our pure and white snowy surroundings. Shortly into our walk David became fascinated with the way his boots felt as he traveled across the soft blanket of snow on the ground. He turned to me and said, “It’s cool how little pieces of snow can combine to make something so thick.” I loved his thought, and it got my mind racing. I thought about how in a world full of billions of people, we are each like a tiny tiny little snowflake. Small and insignificant? No way! It helped me to see how when we combine our beauty with others, we can really contribute to something amazing and substantial. Made me feel small and beautiful, yet connected to the world in big ways!<\/p>\n
