"fOR tHE lOVE oF sOMETHING"
Ten million miles away,
I dream...
When my mind won't stop thinking, I quiet my soul.
Just breathe...
In the wee hours of the morning I reflect on who I am. Who I eternally wish to be.
I have no regrets...
I live every day to the fullest, and strive to leave this world a little better than I found it.
I could make more money...
I could be ruthless...
I could choose myself over others...
I could live in pity...
I could believe in a world where personal gain rules the day...
I could blame others for my lot in life...
I could cry, and bury myself in self doubt.
I could let others change me...
But as I've always believed I am the creator of my own reality.
I choose to create small ripples in the pond. Hoping someday they will be giant waves.
I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Even if the writing is on the wall.
I have hope for humanity as a whole.
We are all on our own path.
Sometimes I have to coach people onward. I always have the best intentions at heart.
We all belong somewhere.
At daylight when the morning birds chirp,
I choose to love...
I choose to be happy...
I choose smile at every soul I come in contact with...
I choose to be my best self...
I choose to love every aspect of my job...
My life...
And I feel grateful to be part of the world.
Ever thoughtful, never endings....

"tALK aBOUT tHE fLIP sIDE"
It's funny how life throws you curve balls. At least I am maliable enough to bend and curve along with the sudden ups and downs.
My love for humanity as a whole is not shaken. Every day I'm reminded to try harder to be the person I will be proud of when I make it to the finish line of my life.
Could people choose another way? Of course... I choose, as they say the proverbial road less traveled.
I watch my friends make decisions. Believe they are the ones behind the wheel of their life. Funny some things are predetermined. Our choices make the impact we perceive in our lives.
I watch things unfold, always holding the truth accountable.
We all have different truths to hold. Whether we choose to admit them or not.
For me sleeping soundly at night is enough. I can rest my head on my pillow, and say today you were accountable for who you are, and what you believe.
It would be nice if every person, could look deep enough to see how their actions effect the people around them. This is my daily goal. To impact a difference.
Mind set is a difficult thing to change. There really are people out there that really want to help. I can't believe,(or won't believe) that everyone is only concerned about themselves. After all aren't we all in this together?
Just food for thought...

"tHE bOTTOM oF tHE bUCKET"
My bucket list grows shorter and shorter.
There are just a few loose ends to tie up before I feel secure in what my life has been. (Not that I'm going anywhere mind you:))
~~~LAST WORRY~~~
I would love to know my mother is well taken care of.
~~~KNOWN TRUTH~~~
My children will definitely stand on their own two feet, with my loving husband to be the soft pillow to land on.
~~~HAPPY HOPES~~~
A trip to Paris, then to Ireland, and the birth of my youngest sisters' son. That is what a happy life is made of (to me).
Only 4 things left to set to rights, albeit four life altering occasions. My goal list is finally countable on one hand.

"bRINGING uP dAUGHTERS"
It is strange to be the mother of a 15 year old. I remember distinctly being pregnant with my little girl. Now she is on the doorstep of womanhood. Beginning to realize just who she really is.
I can remember instances that formed my judgment. Funny how it seems not long ago, I was the same young adult trying on life hats, wondering if I would someday grow into them.
She will have some of the same situations I have. The difference is she can already focus on a path. See the light through the trees.
It's amazing how we want better for our children, and when you send them out with the right tools, they do it.
I would never change anything in my life. All the trials and tribulations have made me who I am. I wonder if she would be as whole, if I wasn't as shattered as I once was.
I am whole... But It wasn't that long ago, that a silly thing like a movie, for instance, would change my outlook on things. Seeing through my daughters eyes, she has been embraced from birth in the ideology of a woman being whole.
I can't wait to see the strength in her daughter one day:)

"wINNER aT tWENTY-sIX"
Times they are a'changin'.
It's been a bit since I last posted, the Salon has found its wind. Not second mind you, but it's here all the same. I am enjoying the feeling of completion.
Old friends parted, new friends joining. It's a great time to be alive.
New faces breathe a lithe of honesty, into any situation.
I love comparing my trials and tribulations to someone that's gone before, and truly mastered the skill. Every time I think I've got it my ego gets the best of me. Fear and Ego, two things I try to eradicate from my being. Mental tapes reprogrammed.
I was fortunate enough to have been invited and attended, a Memorial for a man I never had the pleasure of knowing.
He loved Beach Cruiser Bikes, and his garden, he was a joyful Barista and an Artist. He was in love for the first time, he left us at twenty-six.
One common thread was apparent as his friends and family remembered him.
He was not the richest, nor the most handsome, not as you would say a high powered, goal oriented member of society. But a salt of the Earth Man, one you would love to be lost in a rain storm with. A person that made your day better just from the friendly banter while he was making your favorite coffee, or sandwich.
A servant to us all, reminding me to serve all I love, be my best me, live my best life. So when I'm called to go I know I will not look back on my life and have regrets. Never Ending...
