Pieces

Today was a fantastic day. I hesitate to share because sometimes in life there is nothing more precious then a moment that is yours forever. And that is what I experienced today. So I will cherish it and tuck it away for my keeping. And when the time is right- I will share with the world. Until that moment arrives I am on Cloud Nine.

Chasing the Rainbow

This weekend I spent in PA. Friday and Saturday had some of the most powerful rain storms ever. And in the midst of it all- While driving down a back road with my grandmother and sister- we encountered the most vibrant rainbow. I was lucky to have snapped a photo via my Black Berry. But do know that the photo doesn't capture the colors as they truly were.

My grandmother, sister, and myself than began wondering what was the pot of gold? Was it the dinner we were in search for? Was it the mall? Was it the new adult housing development- for grandma? Was it indeed us? As we drove our conversation grew more and more dramatic, each of us interjecting our ideas of what in fact the gold was. Then it occurred to me- the end is forever changing. As we drove the rainbow seemed to be traveling as well. It crossed my mind to see if we could "chase" the rainbow and find the end- but it was then that I realized- it would indeed be impossible. If not for the minor details of crashing into buildings and people- the likely hood of the actual rainbow lasting long enough for us to find it's origin is highly unlikely. So there it was in front of us. A beautiful artwork of nature and all we could do was marvel.

Rainbow's mirror life. We often want to find the end to know what the pot of gold is. We are so anxious to know and have the gold. But in reality life is much like the rainbow- forever changing- unpredictable. And just when we think we have found the end and are ready to claim the "gold"- poof- it has disappeared.

But when we sit back and appreciate it for what it is- we realize that there is no pot of gold more beautiful than the rainbow itself. So live for the beauty of living. You are the gold.

New Beginnings

You may be wondering why the old Blog was deleted and some keep emailing me to try and recover it. I am looking at the events in the past weeks as an opportunity for a new beginning. We can never go back but we can start fresh where we are. And you all shared with me all those wonderful and spectacular first via this Blog. And as long as we shared in them together- we now have the memories. And no matter what nothing and no one can take that away. Nor can it stop us from creating and sharing more.

The present is all we have, transient though it is. We’ve had the past, we may not have the future. Let’s treat every second as if it’s our last and try to enjoy it without worrying about what’s gone or fretting about what may be to come. Let’s face it - NOW is all we are guaranteed.

There will come a time when you believe that everything is finished- that will be the beginning. And that my friends is where I feel I am. Not that I was feeling finished careerwise in any shape or form- I am talking about life. There is so much more to life other than what we love. The only journey is within. And as long as you want to travel as far as far is- then let nothing stand in your way. The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.

I am glad to be back to share.


Coming tomorrow- The Last Dance.....
