It's a deal.

Some days you need to stop and question why things happen the way they do. Really stop and just listen.
I did this today, and was greeted with the most beautiful awareness.
Love.

That is hopefully what every lesson leads to... in some form or another.
I have found this to be the ultimate goal in most of my life's journeys. The more difficult the journey, the more love received.

Such loves come in many forms... the immense and unwavering love that can only be the result of a relationship that has been tested through and through. The honest and pure love that only comes from the innocence of children. The concerned and supportive love that only dear friends and family know how to give as they know you best and how to deliver a smile or a hug when needed. Then, there is the new love that I was made aware of today. The love of a new friend. Someone that shares some commonality with you that combines all of the above, a certain perspective and compassion that is collective with few. I thank you for helping me to see this today, friend. You are one of the many loves that I have gained in this journey.
I am truly blessed for all of my loves. Even as I grow weary on certain days, I will always have room for the hope of love to grow.

Mucho Love!

Oh NO!

If you know me even somewhat well, you should hopefully be aware that I am a pretty decent and loving person. I like to see the bright side of life and not dwell on the negatives for any longer than to just acknowledge them and shoo them out the door.
I have had my ups and downs in life... and I keep rolling just like most of you. I speak my mind when I don't agree, but usually try to appreciate that I must maintain an open mind in all instances.

I write this knowing that you may not hold the same values in life that I do, or even agree with mine, but to me, this is one of those instances that is close to my heart. I believe we are all created equal and I will ALWAYS vote for equality.

I am writing this as a human being... someone that expects you to live your life the way you choose and allow me the freedom to live my life the way I choose. We are not here very long in the grand scheme of it all, and I highly doubt our "earthly mission" is to judge others.
Please VOTE NO on the marriage amendment as well as NO to voter restriction this Tuesday, November 6th. Let's not limit someone's RIGHT to be who they are. You may not agree, but you have your life and your freedom, let's let every other human being be allowed the same. Let's be equal.

MUCH LOVE!!
