You Never Know Where Life Takes You

Warning everyone ..
This one might be a little serious or intense. I suppose I'm using your wonderful supportive hearts and ears for therapy at the moment. I'll not give all the details, but I'll paint you a picture.

You know that I always write about ReInvention ... I'm devoted to it, adamant about it, insistent at the very least. I believe we are here to leave the world a better place by our presence. I've spent my life doing good in the world, helping others, being available. Sometimes I've been there more for others than for me.... to a fault.

Right now, I'm facing a difficult diagnosis... it got verified today and I'll probably be in surgery within a few days. I'm confident I'll come through with flying colors.. I have to .. I have much more work to do in the world AND, my rock star son is about to make it in the "big time." ...I still want to be the Mother of a famous rock star. Yahoo.

When I realized what was happening with me, I never went to the fear of my life winding down; instead I went to this is a nuisance, I don't have time for it, etc. Maybe that was denial ... not sure. Anyhow, my wishing and hoping didn't work. The issue is very much at hand.

Why am I telling you this? Why am I sharing it? That's easy ... my life is an open book and I'll tell you anything that will inspire you to honor your life and be who you are meant to be.

I expect to be around for a long time ... I'm not going anywhere. I might be a bit uncomfortable for a bit; I might lose some parts of myself I'm attached to (don't know that yet). But, my attitude and the compassion of those around me who love me will help to pull me through.

My question to you is this: What will I do differently in my life TODAY ... and Tomorrow, etc..... so that I'm living full tilt? Who will I love? Where will I volunteer to make the world a better place? Where do I need to surrender to a bigger cause?

Take your steps today ... don't wait for tomorrow. Wishing and hoping get you more of the same as you wait for "someday maybe."

I'm just beginning this new ReInvention process (yes, another one)... it's a new journey and I have no idea where it will take me. I'll keep you informed along the way.
This blog is now my very personal journey blog.
I'm starting a new one ... but it will be All Things ReInvention ... in a more business focused way.

Follow me .. write to me... stay with me.

Celebrate your day.
