It's been a while since I've written! Life has a way of getting away from you. It seems daily I am humbled by life. I find myself wanting to be an island. It's not easy for some of us to admit that we need others. Whether it's help with finding a job, a referral, or reaching out to a friend to talk. We all need something, in some way, from each other. I heard someone say that if we would all just realize we are bound to each other, this world would be a better place. It's hard sometimes to even imagine that isn't it? When you want to yell at the guy who cut you off while you were driving or tell off the person who insulted you. We have all been guilty of thinking of doing those things purposefully or not. Easy to forget when you're angry. I try to be thankful when I get mired in my own thoughts. I remember my cousins sweet little son that has cancer. He still has a beautiful smile on his face despite the things he has gone through. Things that I don't think I could handle. He has hope in his eyes. Something we all need. Hope is what keeps us going isn't it? What do you hope in? How do you live in the moment?

Today I told my friend I loved her. Something I couldn't do before. I guess I thought it would be awkward or seem insincere, but when you allow yourself to speak from your heart it's not about anyone but you, being authentic. That was me, knowing tomorrow isn't here yet...trying to be in the moment.
