I'd forgotten I started a blog awhile back stating "I'm 38 years old and newly single" eh hm... make that 43 years old now and newly nothing. I have a 12 year old son (how did he get to be 17 and so grown up and independent?) and a 3 1/2 year old daughter (8 1/2 now? Really?!? in a blink... in a tiny, innocent appearing blink the clock leaps forward) who are the most fantastic kids! My son, the percussionist and nerdy intellectual with a heart the biggest I've seen who unfortunately drives a whole lot like his mother and my daughter, the artist who seems to manipulate any medium into her own perceptions and then explains it with great articulation, yet who will still not converse with anyone aside from her father, her brother, myself and a small handful of peers. Will of steel and it will serve her well!

Stolen Beautiful Quote!

A dear friend wrote this in an email and I had to steal it because she was writing my heart! And to see my heart on a page brought this God-process into focus and clarity like nothing I've ever experienced and it made me realize the crashes are SO worth flying in my TRUE identity! To feel is human - to fail is human - to fall is human. To be rescued and craddled by my loving Father, united with my lovesick Bridegroom and filled to the fullest with Holy Spirit - THAT is the power of God and God alone. In my weakness He is ever strong and ever present and never changing! And in that truth I embrace the words of my dear friend and commit to flying out loud!!!

"He [Holy Spirit] has awakened something in me - something that will not be contained - something wild and free and untamed (and dare I say? ferociously hungry!). And I fear I have to follow it... and yet in the following I may discover the truth - that I was created to fly out loud. I AM fearfully and wonderfully made. And sometimes this earthsuit does some wild and crazy things - but I'm beginning to learn that I will never truly discover ALL of Who He is until I am willing to risk ALL of who I am..... and who I am not. So I'm shaking off the crash, and fluffing back out my little feathers.... and I can smell the wind of new sky...."
