transformation happens in one fail swoop, but do we have the hearts and minds to pay attention?
a dear friend posed this to me a couple days ago while i was finalizing my goodbye/thank you letters to my previous bosses and simmering in my transition over espresso. i find this question ominous and brilliant. yet troubling, i suppose.
do we have the hearts and minds to pay attention?
do we?
is that why so many things seem to pass us by? because we are simply not paying attention.
my hope is that i will not be so adrift or so caught up that i cannot see the transformation in front of me.
let me be engaged in my world around me.
allowing my heart and my mind to fully absorb what it is that surrounds me.

time has changed us.
for the better.
today i cleaned out my inbox. i had over 3,000 unread messages.
no, i'm not that popular. no, i'm not famous.
yes, i have a problem. yes, i sign up for newsletters and coupons and clubs and never EVER read the emails. yes, the first step is recognizing my problem. i get it. it's ridiculous.
but as of right now, i have ZERO unread messages.
today, i bought a new macbook pro. i have had this one currently typing this blog for over four years and i bought it from a friend used. it has been loved and is acting like a dinosaur. i will need to be more social network-y and mobile for my new job so i decided to grow up and bite the bullet. and i feel good. no buyers remorse here. it will be here so soon. ahhh.
today, i will sit in the sun and read my copy of Garden and Gun that came to me today and i will be happy.
and here i am, realizing that i'm a writer. again. and i want to write.
i have wanted to stay private for a while, for some much needed self care and understanding.
but prepare yourselves to be apart of my world, the beauty and brokenness that it is,
if anyone even reads this anymore.
