Last night we got together with friends Nancy, Jane, and Nancy's daughter Sarah, her partner Jay, and their friend Zach. Nancy hosted. It was so much fun. Simple appetizers of chips, humus and salsa. Dinner was minestrone and bread. Dessert was my famous brownies. Lots of laughter and friendship.
What's sticking in my head this morning, however, is Zach's passion. I just met Zach yesterday, but he made such a huge impression on me ~ it's always so powerful to see someone living his passion, and Zach surely is. Six months out of cosmetology school, he brought his blow-dryer, special round brush and pomade with him from the Cities. He's working in a fabulous salon, and he was eager for the chance to show his stuff. Jane got a blow-dry while the rest of us sat around the table drinking wine and chatting. When Zach was done with Jane's hair, she looked blissful from the scalp massage and ready to anchor the evening news.
And Zach was aglow. That's what's got me still smiling this morning. Passion like that is priceless and contagious. I can't wait to see what this young man will do with his life... stand back 'cuz it will be great.
