“I came to a realization the other day…”
Finish this sentence. Fill a journal page. Just let the words flow out. What have you realized of late?
Write it.
Draw it.
… actually it was when I turned 50. I realized that if I live as long as my mom did, then I only have 22 years left. 22 years is less than the ages of my children… It wasn’t a bad thought. It was liberating. It’s time to let go of hesitations and embrace trust. It’s time to let go of humility and concentrate on shameless self-promotion. It’s time to enjoy being myself and letting go of the need to please. It’s time to fulfill the goals, not just dream the dreams.

Again, what have you realized of late?
I came to the realization in November of 2010 when I was diagnosed, that life COULD very well be short. I didn’t want it to be that short. So i dug my heals in and battled a Foe much scarier than any I had control of and won. I took my life back AND…it was given back. I realized I had regrets. I had secrets. I had pains. I had not loved when I should have loved. I crossed boundaries and borders. I pushed limits. I sat when I should have stood. What I realized was….I could stop running away. I could heal. I was alive to enjoy all that could be enjoyed as a healthy individual. I still search for control but now its to build and better myself and through that window we’ll see what else is out there! Life is short…but its bursting with beauty!
