AN INSIDE LOOK


ME: "So ya know how Facebook does these flashback memory moments right? This day two years I was dancing on a train with a girl I had just met. Like, I introduced myself to her and we twerked. We twerked. On a train. And I videoed it and put it on the internet. ((pause))) What? I watched the video and cringed. I don't even know me two years ago. I watched and thought, what was I so desperate to prove? To be the boldest? A self-proclaimed "wild child?" The concept is cool and all, about reaching out to others and connecting, but it's just so loud. So extra. As if it wasn't a natural occurrence at all, but more like something that needed to be expressed and praised by others. Congratulations, you have no chill factor? I dunno....I'm rambling now. I just do not realize how much I have transitioned. Seeing who we are now, our dynamic as a unit, I cannot help but look at the past and be surprised you gave me such a fair shot. I preached in your face about me having to be a free spirit on the daily and created my identity on this whole, "you can't tell me what to do" vibe. Did you just see past that? Seriously, I'm asking. Did you just see deep into my soul or something?
HUSBAND: ".....I just knew that I was sent to be with you and remind you of who you really are."

WHERE DO YOU RESIDE?

There is this place called "All-About-Me-Ville" and it's growing population is astounding. I should know, I was nestled there for years. I lived right on the corner of Self Ave. and Centered Drive. (LOL) Okay, so you see where i am going with today's blog. Here's the real deal - I moved out of that zone about a year ago. It took several steps for me to officially awaken and grasp the concept of what life would be like if I took a bow on the stage of lif e and allowed the spot light to shine onto someone else's performance for a while. Truth be told, it was the most freeing sensation I have ever experienced!!!! The irony today is that I run into individuals that still patrol those streets on the daily and I cannot help but bounce back and forth between dumbfounded and frustrated. Not sure if you're one of the residents? Or perhaps you wonder if you have crossed paths with a narcissist? Here is how you can tell: 1) Do you find yourself having to repeat...

CRICKET CRICKET

I love social media when it is used with positive intent. I only have a Facebook account, but it really does wonders for me, especially when it  comes to living far away from family. The photos, the story sharing, and the constant connecting that makes it all feel as if i am not that far away anymore. I even cherish all the little moments that can be captured along the journey of life. For example, I have had countless adventures out in the world where you just truly connect with someone. I've danced with a girl on a train into NYC, had a photo op with a teen on a ferry ride, slid down Sliding Rock with a fellow nature lover, and even took a hike with a father & daughter up in the mountains of Asheville. For me, I never have to flashback to a memory that mattered and think, "what ever happened to that person?" Because they are right here, continuing to cross paths with me thru our Facebook pages. What a lovely concept. Like, a permanent childhood pen-pal. This...
