bridges burned
seasons turned
lessons learned
and i know i'm a better woman now

yes indeed, it's been a while since i've written here, and life has radically changed in these last few months...new home, new business venture, new CD, new insights, new healing, new grace.

my childhood kaleidoscope vision haunts me daily in the best of ways. it would be so much easier to be a monochrome conformist in navigating the waters of this world, but deep inside i know, that would be dishonest and dishonoring. the more i back away from old old paradigms, the more clearly i can see both their fruits and their flaws. being true to myself and getting more comfortable with the kaleidoscopic non-conformist i am is a great benefit of this new city called maturity. ironically, the more i lean into this comfort zone of self-acceptance, the younger and more invigorated i feel. i thank God for translating the debris of so much regret into diamonds of renewal. to sing the unique song of my heart is a daunting aspiration indeed, with so many forces of narrow-minded opposition constantly breathing the dragon's fiery breath of mediocrity upon my efforts at the excellence of serenity. but still i sing anyway; and even if i only have myself and God as an audience, my mission on this passion-starved planet is ultimately accomplished.
