Gratitude Girl

Running through the airport with one hand holding my beltless pants and the other being pulled by my dad is one of my oldest memories. I was four and on my way to see the world. I've traveled quite a bit since then and become familiar with many cultures, each of which has left an impact on me. Teaching ESL has allowed me to meet people from various backgrounds as well. I've adopted some customs and ignored others. I am who I am because of what I've seen and whom I've met – and I'm grateful.

Dear Sol: You've been on my mind... We met on Twitter a few years ago, and you immediately got my attention because of your tireless support. Thank you for all the retweets, and thank you for always supporting me. You are a kind soul. I recently read a book you wrote, and reading even only one aspect of your life in your memoir was enough to confirm what I already knew. You are an intelligent and lovely person, and I am so fortunate to have met you. It's an honor for me to call you my friend. I appreciate you and feel grateful to have you in my life. I hope one day we meet in person. Love... Noosha Ravaghi

Dear Toomaj: You've been on my mind... I respect you for being a morally upright person and a great artist. I love your work. You bring up the societal issues in Iran and fight corruption in a magnificent way through your rap songs. Thank you for being the voice of the people. Thank you for all you do to make your country and this world a better place. Thank you for being you! I'm sorry you have been arrested by this unjust regime. It breaks my heart that you are under torture. Your message to the people has been clear, though: Keep fighting the good fight! Your sisters and brothers are doing just that. We all appreciate your work and respect your strength. We are all grateful for you. Love, Respect, ... & Gratitude Noosha Ravaghi

Miracles

December 20, 2023

I'm grateful for all the daily miracles...like sunrise and sunset...and my dogs' soft inhale and exhale as I watch them sleep. I'm also grateful for the less frequent miracles I get to encounter...like cutting a papaya open to find its seeds have sprouted inside it.
