*Quick update*
I reached my campaign goal on my crowdfunding page for my Alinker! I am so thankful to everyone who donated, shared my link and prayed for me. I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you. Thank you so much. Now the team at Alinker will begin to create a bike just for me. It takes about 6 – 8 weeks before it is delivered. I will surely share pictures when it gets here and record my maiden voyage.
At 5:29 am on October 27, 1977, a little milk chocolate drop was born at Riverside Hospital in Toledo, Ohio. Twenty days past her original due date. According to her mom, she was dried out and hairy. Not cute at all. I believe I stayed in there the extra time to make sure I was born a Scorpio 🦂. Lol. It is my season and it has started off really well. Here it is, Book 43.
The morning of my birthday, I woke up early and prayed to God. I thanked Him for everything in my life up until this point. I thanked him for the blessings that are to come. I just talked to God. One thing I thought about as I talked was the decisions I have made with the free will He has allowed me to have. I have went left so many times on this path I’m not sure how many rights it will take me to get back on the original path. Or if at times along this journey I have cross corrected and I just need to make one more right. Just one more to get back on the correct path. Who knows?
When I was younger and I would see this picture of myself, I always felt like I was still in this moment. I had this weird feeling that I was dreaming my whole life out before I actually lived it. Honestly, I think I kinda stopped thinking this only about 8 – 10 years ago. Something in me still holds on to the idea a little bit. I think I am just so fascinated with the possibility of the idea. To this baby, my life is a quick nap in her carrier.
To this 43 year old woman, this is life in the matrix.
I love the saying, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience” by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. This saying allowed me to be so much more aware of what it means to live. I am experiencing life. And I get to decided if it will be a good experience or a bad one. I am determined to make my brief time here on this earth a good experience. How about you?
Though the majority of my goals were set on January 1st, I can say that a good portion of them have already been accomplished and that makes me happy. For once I am not feeling a lingering sadness at another year gone by. Wondering what have I done? And why I didn’t do more? I did some shit this year and I am proud of myself for it! I will continue to strive and reach as many of my other goals as possible before the end of the year and set new ones as I go. I won’t let MS or this pandemic stop me!
It was a great birthday. I spent time with my friends laughing, drinking and eating. Creating new memories to last a lifetime. I also received the best gift with the completion of my campaign. What a day! I look forward to the challenges and accomplishments this new book will bring. Book 42 may read more like a short story. Book 43 is going to be the size of our Britannica Encyclopedias from when I was a kid. Stay tuned. As always, be well and whole. Much love 🧡 💚
