Taking a break for now.

I’ll write back.
Not often do we see an image of what we hope to be and recognize it for the gift it is. I have recently crawled my way out of a shell created by fear and self doubt to peek at my surroundings and life’s many gifts. I woke up sad last night wondering what I offer to others beside guidance and challenge to follow their path. I faced the mirror and soon found myself entranced by connection to everything and everyone I could think of. The faces of those who have influenced me lately joined in one reflection and blended in my eyes. My blurry vision intensified with layers of thoughts, feelings, and aspirations, and then poured tears of self knowledge. I am change. I am chaos. I am understanding. I am growth, opportunity, love. My vicarious experiences cry for true fulfillment. I am a mom, a friend, a teacher, a student, a child, a giver, an achiever, a soul, a morphed being of trust, curiosity, doubt, confidence, a champion, a creative spirit, a lover, a face in the crowd.
For so long I yearned for examples to emulate. That’s part of sharing life, we share, grow, learn from one another. We let each other down, lift each other up .I search and find those who are determined, dedicated, strong, and relentless with following and adapting to the twists and turns life delivers to assure us growth and enlightenment on our paths.
Thank you Taysha for the mirror.
Thank you Nathan, for helping me to understand that clouds give us greater appreciation of sunshine. Storms give us reason to remember clouds. Disaster brings us to value the real joys and sunshine blesses us with the light we forget we have. To know your perspectives come from knowledge of limited time motivates me to love with all I have for no good reason at all.
Thank you A& M for letting your love lights blind me so I could then truly see that I can love that way too. If only I let myself.
Thank you C& M for showing how exciting stability can be. You rock each other and those who can see it feel the motion of true connection.
Thanks M for showing me the person I wanted to be is still the person I find most intriguing.
Thank you A for showing me how not to be- therefore turning me to the path of greatest comfort.
Thank you T for the no BS with all of your perspectives. Truth only hurts when you want to believe lies.
Thanks MG for making time out of thin air to be a living example of true friendship.Your stories of determination and willingness to stick this one out made my recovery easier.
Thanks N and S for encouraging me to believe in the genius of the mind and the wealth of knowledge available within.
Thanks ML for connecting the dots.
And now, I’d like to thank the Academy for…..
Be well,
Peace and comfort,-R
