Life lessons Artie has taught me :

• To be myself
• Don't pretend to be something that you are not
• Don’t pretend to know something when you do not
• Be curious
• Don’t hold on to the past
• Be playful
• It's ok and adorable to be vulnerable and trusting
• It's ok to say "no".
• Non- verbal kindness.  A simple touch, a nod of the head and a smile and a twinkle in your eye says everything
• And ironically how to position my hands in downward-facing dog

Thank you, Artie, for being a part of my life.
