A new adventure...blogging
Ok, here we go! After years of dreaming and thinking about this thing, the next right thing was to actually put my thoughts concretely into the universe. (I was going to say put my thoughts on paper, but let's face it, I don't want to take the time to then transcribe what I have hand-written. Hand writing is saved for special letters to family and friends at this point. If you receive something from me that is hand-written, you are indeed special to me. )
So, why a blog? I already do my videos on the beach. Why write something as well? I guess the answer is that sometimes there are so many thoughts and things I want to share, that if I don't write them down, they get lost. The plan is to publish once a week and highlight conversations with friends and colleagues that I believe have made a difference in my life. Sometimes I may just fill you in on my own adventures, but the commitment is once a week.
Is there something you want to know? Let me know and I will attempt to fill in the gaps. There have been a lot of adventures that haven't been recorded, so I have a lot of material to pull from.
PS. This week I want to remind you that grief after losing a loved one never really goes away. It changes and day to day life becomes different and easier, but anniversaries and trauma are kept in the body and emotions can crash over you like waves even years later. It is ok. It is proof that the loss meant something and that the person is still dear to you. Let the tears fall. Let the memories flow. You will recalibrate. You will smile again, and you will remember happy times again. Each anniversary may be different and that is ok too. I will admit that some years it took me looking at the calendar to figure out why I was so unregulated. Take the long hugs. Love those who are still with you, and know that you are not alone.
Until next time, know that I care, and share love with you.
