Long time coming...

Wow- a blog. At last! I have had blog on the brain for longer than I care to admit that I did nothing about it. I am finally ready and am choosing to make the time to share my inner most thoughts and life journey with a larger community. I feel safe enough here to get started and hope that I might inspire someone out there with a laugh, a new thought or a moment of feeling connected to the similarities of our personal struggles and triumphs. Currently, I am in the process of realizing that life will only slow down enough for me to catch up if I make it. I run and I run and I do and I do and but there are always leftovers on my huge list of daily tasks. I get so caught up in whirlwinds of all that is calling out to me that I forget there is a calm in the eye of the storm that's worth finding. I have been driving way faster than my headlights in the game of life and thank god for the construction cones or I might have gone off the cliff. Ya see, I have such a large vision and a passionate mission that it's been a huge struggle for me to not run as fast as I possibly can to get to the horizon I see so clearly. But I'm in the forest and though I can see the sun setting in the distance, I cannot see the trees in front of my face. And I now realize that It's time to really stop. Look around. See the truth of my surroundings and trust that when I can smell the garden in the magical forest, my breath is deeper and my life is more full. That setting sun on the horizon is only going down for the night. It will rise again tomorrow and again the next day. So enjoy the show. Enjoy the trees. They will protect and ground me. They ask me over and over... "what's the hurry?"
