Lows & Highs!

Nobody said it’s going to be easy hmmm…..yeah….heard that one before right?

Sure the road can get bumpy…..and sometimes inspiration lies dormant…..buried deep inside, forgotten and waiting to be discovered all over again!

Somebody asked why I hadn’t written in my blog recently. I responded that I don’t write unless I feel positively inspired. See- life is neither always up nor always down….but I usually believe in sharing only the upbeat.

However this also reminds me of an incredibly powerful message from one of the most influential women in my life. In a fleeting moment of deep sharing I had said to her sympathetically ‘I’m so sorry for all that you’ve been through! Nobody should have to go through that!’ and she responded smiling ‘Oh! But Baby- You are missing the point; it’s not about having a life better or worse than another; it’s about the path given to us each to follow!’ Hmm...But Wait!! -What!!!?  Just about the path!!? I am left pondering if this means it’s all about the lessons learned along the way....or perhaps not even…. perhaps it's just about the experiences- as in blink, miss a beat or don’t!?

We may not always understand everything that happens to us but I guess it’s best to buckle up and be ready for the ride regardless! Sometimes all that matters is to keep it simple....as in stay centered (i.e. breathe deeply!), hold the faith (i.e. believe in everything good against the odds!) and remain connected (i.e. stick to our tribe…..after all together we go further! Guaranteed!).

Fall! My favorite season! Here's wishing us all the best towards keeping things simple along the way!! 

Cheers!!
