It Is Time...To Fly!

I made a decision.  It's 2012 and this year will be different or so said the journal I diligently began on January 1st...

And so it begins, another new year.  Will it be any different than all the rest?  Well, I guess that's up to me! It is my desire and intention to take the leap, to live the wisdom I know instead of just talking about it, writing about it, teaching it.  Oh, I've mastered many things, but if I'm honest I still hide behind some of my own excuses or buts.  As I always tell my daughter, "You're not done until you are done!"  I'm not done.

Now is the time to GET OFF MY "BUT"!  Oh, I have great excuses for anything that doesn't show up the way I would prefer:

• Failed marriage
• Single mom for the last 8 years
• Controlling parent who didn't give me a voice
• Abusive 4th grade teacher
• Bad economy
• Far from family/community/friends

Waa, Waa, Waa.  God I'm sick of my own story, no really, "God, I am sick of my story."  I know it line by tedious line, so why keep repeating it to myself and others? Let me again be honest, it's just not that interesting.

In reality I've often lived in a waking dream, not asleep, but not awake.  Half in, half out, the mediocrity of lukewarm. 

No more BUTS!

Hello New Year! 

Good Morning Carmen!
