Those of you that know me personally know I have been on a sabbatical of sorts. Amping down my considerable effort to basically isolate myself and work at healing issues that were thrust upon me by my upbringing. As well as dividing the wheat from the chaff in the place I found myself six years ago. I could liken it here to Buddha's 100 years sitting under the tree to think. Luckily because, unlike Buddha, I doubt very seriously that I will make it to my 100th birthday, I find six years has been enough. I am about as "healed"as it is possible to get in isolation, and now I am taking steps to move forward to meet the rest of my destiny. What has not healed is unlikely to at this point, so now I have chosen to continue forward and not expect perfection of myself. To my critics I say, DEAL.
What does this destiny look like? I have no idea really, but I do know I have been sent clusters of signs for a while, and I am busy now heading their direction. I have that old familiar "tip of my tongue" feeling about how this will look, and how it will delvelop and involve me over the next year. I do know nothing I have ever done in life came to me while I was waiting patiently for it. It only came with movement. Sometimes movement takes it's own momentum and whisks you on a different road than you ever expected to be on. You were so right John, when you said life is what happens when you were busy making other plans.
So when you all see me next, you will probably see the old Laura. But scratch a little deeper and you will find another person inside, a stronger one, more focused than ever before. Because this time I know myself better, understand more of what I actually need in my life, and refuse to live in fear if I can recognize and walk through it first. Get ready, get set...go. (LOL) My friends you have been warned.
