Woo-hoo

A month has passed and I haven't written a thing. My heart has been full and my mind too. I am becoming more and more aware of how much I do not share with folks in my life. And I do not understand why, or maybe I do. I believe they would not be interested in what I have to say, because it may sound long winded or just too too. So I share safe things. General things. Whenever I see an opportunity to share more, something deeper about myself I take a chance though.


I guess that's why I started this blog. To share my thoughts. Some of them at least. I haven't been too consistent, but my goal is to do better.


Much is going on in my life right now. I seem to be so busy, and yet a lot of what I do in my busyness seems to possess a bit of emptiness. So, I've decided to simplify my life more.


I'm paying attention to what really matters and trying to discover what the matter is. Sometimes, when I am still, I feel like that little girl I was, who lived in a place called the Grove, and who daydreamed thousands of dreams and cultivated thousands of hopes. I think to myself that the world still has a part of it that belongs to me...and it will be mine. Everyday I awake I am grateful to be here still. I am. I look at my husband and I look at my son and I think, "My family." My heart warms like a cinnamon bun. And then I hear something calling me like a wind across the plains spoken of in western books of long ago. It's a higher calling. A calling from the God within me. His spirit cheering me on, pushing me from behind, telling me to move, move, move. Do what matters, forget everything else that doesn't.
