It is true that what does not kill us makes us stronger. It has been a very strange and dramatic week. Stuff happened and It brought me down for a while. Never having been involved in any kind of violence, what occurred shook me to my core. But I got stronger also. I realized that this was just an illusion and something greater was being birthed out of the experience. My son grew stronger, more focused and I did also. Decisions were made, steps were taken and out of darkness came light.
I am going to go away for a while to re-group, re-charge and be still. Going home to the place where I grew up is now very important to me. When I lived there, all I could think about was getting out. I did and experienced many wonderful things. I truly believe that most adults over a certain age, do return to their hometowns and reconnect with what they weren't able to connect with when growing up. I love my hometown and am very proud of most of the things that have occurred there. Movies have been made, presidents and vice-presidents began the journey to the White House there, young women were made famous by appearing on a television show called Survivor.
Strength certainly does come out of adversity but only if we allow that to be the Truth of any situation. Some choose a different route and leave the planet but those of us who stay grew deeper into the realization of who we truly are.
As I write this, it is the day before Mothers Day. My mother is gone, my best friend's mother left the planet a few days before Mother's Day last year. I know that she is sad but I also know she remembers the good times, as I do, the times when we laughed with our mothers and cried with our mothers. I have a son of my own and I am proud to be his mother. He has shown tremendous growth into the man I always knew he could be. I am proud of him and what he has accomplished so far in his life and know that more is coming.
This being my first blog, I will stop for now. I look forward to sharing my journeys with you and hope that you are inspired to write about your own journeys.
Happy Traveling
