 31 July 2015 "Exist on your own terms. That is all." ~Dau Voire
Hello last day of July 2015. Time for a check-in to assess how this year is shaping up in an attempt to stay focused. I named this year "Go in the Direction of Your Dreams" and honestly I had no idea which direction that would be. Let's just say it hasn't exactly gone as planned but the plan was sketchy to begin with so that's okay! If I had to plot the path I've taken so far, it would look hilarious, bouncing around hither and yon. The neat thing about this discovery, though, is that's just the way I naturally roll. I don't know how that crazy route works for me but it totally does. Frankly I'm really starting to dig it! I've also scattered a whole mess of debris on the road behind me (...I apologize in advance for the litter I will NOT be picking up). August is going to come with some pretty big changes...I'll turn forty-six, my first grandchild is due, I'm taking a trip up North to see my sister's baby get married, my other sister and brother are coming for a visit, and our "camping" adventures will begin in earnest at a beautiful lake in the Great Smoky Mountains. Honestly, I can't wait! I intend to spend every day of being forty-six with joy and light in my heart. It is a trend I plan to continue with reckless abandon over into any birthday I'm fortunate enough to have after that. I know there will be hurts and scrapes, bumps and bruises along the way, so I've stocked my first aid kit and bought a case of Gorilla Glue for when I have to put back pieces of me that might break off (...because it's ME and I know with certainty this will happen). When I look back at everything I've survived so far, I know I can face whatever difficulties might be up ahead (...and for the record, NO, Universe, that is not a challenge I'm issuing. Thanks!). Ready for some adventure? Let's GO! May your weekend be full of "light" and cookies (...or whatever guilty pleasure you adore)! Always, A.

About The Author
I grew up in rural North Carolina. When I was only nineteen, I moved away and became a military wife. My only aspiration at that tender time in my life was to create an adult life that "fixed" all of the "injustices" of my childhood. Secretly, however, I wanted to reach for the sky! I wanted to be a writer and find ways to "save the world" (my mother used to say, "You have Save the World Syndrome".). Mostly, I wanted to matter. Archives
