Life Since 3/13/20: A Gratitude Audit

It's been 3 years 8 months 8 days (1348 calendar days) since my last day in our former Ballinger | Leafblad, Inc. offices at 550 Vandalia Street, March 13th, 2020.
I remember the day well as it was two days after my birthday and the last Friday before my kids spring break was scheduled to begin.
Nothing would be the same once the Covid19 pandemic lock-down began during that spring break of 2020 and life as we knew it was forever changed.
I took some time the past week to comb through my calendar since March 13th, 2020 and note all* of the people (confidential conversations NOT included) who made the time to visit with me 1:1 (or 1:2) remotely via Zoom/Teams/phone or eventually back in person in my backyard office shed or a neighborhood coffee spot somewhere in MSP once lockdowns were lifted.
Whether they were 15 minutes or 2 hours+ in length, these 1:1 visits were gifts that kept the sparks from dying out in this connectors spirit. I'm grateful for each and every single one of them and look forward to a new chapter in 2024 when I can begin hosting moments of serendipity acceleration in our new offices at 595 Selby Avenue in Saint Paul, MN.
In this week filled with gratitude, I'm grateful for each of you and for the current gifts of health and wellness that eluded so many during the past 1,348 days.
Thank you! Onwards and upwards.....to be continued...

1yHappy thanksgiving Lars Leafblad. Always honored to be among your “gratitudes.” Indeed this morning I again reflected on the importance of gratitude in my own life - and how much I appreciate you modeling your own practices. Attitude of gratitude… it works (when we work it).
