And I, I took the road less traveled by

"If you don't like where you are in life, there comes a point when you must give up the part of you that's keeping you back." -Dr. Sonya Friedman

Life is a journey, haven't we all been told that before. However, what no one says is that as you experience your own journey, you get to decide who is part of your journey - what they help carry, what special skills and experiences they bring with them, what you have to carry for them, and when their journey will eventually lead them down a different path. No two people - even sharing an ultimate goal - will ever travel the same path because the two experience every moment of every day with their own eyes, ears, heart, and soul. Every day we have the responsibility to follow our own paths because that is what we owe to whatever deity or evolutionary power brought each of us to today. If we do not live to our full potential, we are preventing the world from experiencing the profound power of uniqueness. No one is better than anyone else - we all experience the joys and sadnesses during our lifetime - nothing can save us from our eventual end - so I try to always remember that everyone is on their own unique journey - we meet many along the way who join in our merry band of travelers - learn from these fellow travelers the unique lessons they unknowingly share - our journey is the adventure, the experience, and the individuality of it. I try to remember that the ultimate destination for us all is the same - in the meantime, soar with your unique talents and share the humanity - the love, compassion, and interconnectedness - every day.

Day Two

So, Day Two has come and mostly gone - what to write, what to write.....shall it be the grand insights to life, love, or how to make a million dollars off of home foreclosures? I think if the television watching public took the time wasted on bad sitcoms and reality tv and actually lived life, we'd be even MORE depressed and OBESE.....we hide in plain sight, we lock ourselves away every night not wanting to come out till the morning's light. I ask, do we like ourselves? do we know if we like ourselves or not or are we blindly going along with routine, always doing the safe thing.

Every day do something brave, do something bold....make a promise to yourself to do one thing to make yourself laugh. I remember growing up a song that to this day I enjoy singing as I walk the pups - "Sing, sing a song, make it simple to last your whole life long, no matter that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear just sing, sing a song"

Tomorrow - sing your song

I'm BAAACK

Has it truly been four months since my last post? Life has kept me busy so for the few, the proud, the crazy who read this - I'm going to do better! I saw a friend this weekend who writes a great blog -I sh ared that I was totally impressed that he posts daily updates - an aspiration of mine! So beware - I'm going to try and suck a few minutes of every day from you to share a little insight to the millions of bouncing neurons in my head!

So, let's start with a personal update - as the song goes, for every season turn, turn turn, there is a season turn, turn, turn....so I'm entering a new season - spring. The dark days of my emotional winter are turning to the inspirations and aspirations of spring. Like the bulbs lying dormant underground waiting to come out of hiding, so am I ready to poke out and feel the sunshine. Enough said - stay tuned.
