I’ve packed up and moved to http://howthelovegetsin.wordpress.com

I’ve not been feeling so Slice of Awesome-y for awhile.  This seems more authentic.  Come on over!

Standing on the edge of me

Dreams float by vividly bringing to light every face I’ve ever seen, names long forgotten or perhaps never known, and paths not taken.  I stand at the crossroads…reconciling the past, living in the present tense (though calm better describes it), and all too curious what the future holds for me.

Sales of school supplies and extra long twin sheets turn my already fragile brain inside out…choices made to make others happy though it doesn’t seem to have worked…the desire to shine so brightly but feeling so tarnished and unable.

Should the stumbles and falls that brought me to this moment, however, be regretted?  In this state of quiet stillness, I feel like I finally belong.  Would all the other paths have led me here?

It’s such tumbling around clanking loudly in my brain.  What matters more is what form of superhero will I take in the future?  I can only step on the path I’m on now, making decisions, and hope that it leads to peace.  I suppose it’s all my choosing and it always has been so…

Wherever you are, I hope you’re living your life for you.  No one else’s heart knows where you need to be more than your own.

It’s the little things that mean so much…

Wherever you are, I hope you smile at everyone you see…it will do you both a world of good.

The big news!

We’re thrilled to be expecting our first baby in February!  It’s been good so far and I feel so happy and blessed.  I can’t wait to meet him/her but I will be patient.
