Sorry for no post last week. No sleep and countless hours of scrambling around to figure out what my next move was going to be, well let’s say, it didn’t allow much time for writing.
So, before I begin I share this quote a dear friend sent me, funny thing is I didn’t get the chance to read it right away and when I did, it was like it was waiting there for me to open it up.
I did post this on my Facebook page, but if we are not friends, then you get to enjoy this quote with me now
You cannot unknow what you know. You cannot unsee what you have seen. You cannot turn back and erase the moments, no matter how painful they may have been. You cannot erase the first times or the second chances to re-experience them. You cannot get back your time or your younger years. And once you've been to the edge
of things and stood there at the end of the cliff and peered down, you cannot just go back to living the way you were. You are changed. You have seen. You have known. And all you can do is be, be right here, be right now, in this moment, to see more, to know more, to stop pretending we are something we are not. To stop hiding who we are and what we want in this life. Because that cliff will eventually come for all of us, and when it does, I will not close my eyes as I stand at the edge with the wind against my back. I want to feel every last gust of air, I want to see every last color of the sky, I want to know what it truly means to live even as I fall into the ocean.
I will fall with my eyes open and with my arms spread wide, just so I can feel every last drop of this life on my way down. And just maybe, maybe right before I hit the water, I will instead catch the air...
It was a good reminder to me after the events that took place for me this last week. Those of you that are close to me know the challenging events that took place and all I can say in regards to that specific event is.........................THE TIME IS NOW!
I will share more later, I promise, but this is a time where the situation is sensitive and something I need to keep on the down low. I do know that the outcome will be substantial, along with great! One may ask me HOW, how is it that I’m so certain of the outcome without reaching it yet. Easy, I just know, I know that in this moment and soon, I will be looking back and smiling to myself that I am so happy to be where I am and what it took to get there.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend and much love to all who read my blog. Thank you!
And yes, can’t finish the week off without a great song! Also, this amazing women, who was hit with a major blow to her cycling profession, gave me a reason to ride my bike, I continue to be inspired by the likes of her! I remember this song being on her "myspace" page, yes before Facebook got big!
