Ryanna's Bat Mitzvah

To stand in front of friends, family and mentors and welcome in adulthood is a powerful act. And, what an honor to witness a young woman so optimistic and strong be present and centered in her new role in this world. Such was the case at Ryanna's Bat Mitzvah. I don't think at 12 I had any idea of my potential, of my ability to make a serious contribution to the lives of others and the planet. Some are wiser than others at a young age and Ryanna is one of them... most likely because of her faith, her parents, her community and her individual, unique spirit. I hope she stays forever young.
