get down like james brown

The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing.  ~james brown

sometimes there are no words in those times, and tears don't hide the tragedies or make it go away any faster. God is good, but that doesn't make life easier.  but, as life has started to return to normal over here in my little slice of the world, i am taking in this sense of normalcy and cherishing every moment.  trying to remember how great life can be.  and, living and experiencing all those fleeting moments can be so hard..... it's amazing how crazy life can become in the blink of an eye.  and getting it reigned back in can seem so insurmountable.  but, one thing i have learned over the last year is that, once you get through those tough times, you realize that those moments are actually your finest hours.  it's hard to experience the highs without the lows in life, but we look back on them simply to appreciate our lessons learned and be proud of how far we have come.  

and, today i sit here, with my heart pointed up, glad for that ever-new day that comes every 24 hours.  but mostly, i'm just thankful for where i sit today and for the ability to dance through life with my husband......and so many other amazing people.......by my side.

I'm sure no one is even reading this anymore


nonetheless, i'm determined to get back into blogging again. not that i was all down and dirty into it anyway, but i am more focused on trying to keep up with it now.

it's interesting how life takes many twists and turns. sometimes it seems that life's richest experiences are not the ones that we plan for, but the ones that come at us sideways when we least expect it.

for me, this happened almost 7 years ago now when i met sean and then again, almost 4 years ago when we started our business. both were unexpected and both have enriched my life tenfold. and, recently another opportunity is staring me in the face. it's amazing what happens when we slow down, look for opportunities, take risks. i would have missed it.

....if it all just happened overnight, we wouldn't know how much it means........ Here's to continuing on my daily journey of taking time to be quiet, slowing down my pace, and enjoying the many blessings that are given to us each day.
