In truth I don\u2019t know Meg very well and I met her husband Levi at the wedding. So why was I there you ask\u2026 well I was there because Meg is the daughter of my dear friend from college days, Molly. There are 5 of us who enter\u00a0 UCDavis in 1980 and have pledged to stay connected over these 30 plus years, such friendship is a wonder and a blessing. Meg\u2019s is the first wedding of the next generation of this group of friends.\u00a0 So there I was with my husband and my long time friends and their husbands to witness Meg and Levi\u2019s commitment to each other. Now this lovely young couple has been together for nine years already if you can believe it, college sweethearts whose love has endured. So on this weekend in July, outside the beautiful town of McCall Idaho, next to a rustic barn, chairs were set in rows \u2013 a bride walked down the isle with her beaming parents towards the love of her life, both standing in the bright sun with enormous Idaho clouds collecting as a backdrop, there under the broad Idaho sky they publicly proclaimed their love and devotion to each other. Their vows were honest and touching and bold. After 9 years of being together they realized the power of publicly proclaiming that bold, honest love. When we make a public proclamation then we are including the witnesses, and indeed the world, in that declaration. We are both sharing our bold claim and asking for support when we hesitate. Thank you Meg and Levi for the reminder of the power of proclamation, may your love be strong and true!<\/p>\n<p><em>Now, in my tiny way, I make a proclamation to you dear readers \u2013 This week I begin a renewed commitment to this blog and you, to write regularly and thoughtfully what is in my heart, and mind and the art that goes with that musing. Thanks for joining me in the adventure. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not long ago I was honored to attend the wedding of a young friend.
