Missing someone

My dad posted this quote on facebook and I love it..."Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you've seen them or the amount of time since you last talked. It's about that very moment when you find yourself doing something and wishing they were right by your side." Has this ever happened to you? Oh, my gosh...this happens to me alot. Maybe too much. Maybe I let it. But I do not think I have ever reacted to things like I do now. But when something good and exciting happens, you want to share it. On the other hand, when something hits you like a school bus, you need to share it. Why do we miss it when someone isn't there? When they cannot pick up the phone? Usually it is not because they don't want to, but they just can't right at that moment. I know sometimes I am afraid I will forget to tell that person. Yes, people, there is alot going on upstairs. Plus, it just doesn't feel the same when your adrenaline subsides to near normal levels. Emotion gets you pumped up or mad, depending on the situation. I know that I exude excitement and passion when I call Rocky and tell her about some crazy idea I have. When we let our hearts soar or let our souls weep, we are there in that moment. And when you call someone at "that exact moment", you know it will be as if they are right by your side. Where they would want and need to be. Because they love you. It is a moment you cannot get back and sharing that moment with someone allows you to share it together. And if you are together, then you cannot miss each other.

LEAP!!!

There really is not a big message with this post, but in reading some journals, I came across some things I wrote over a year ago. When this was all still so new and I didn't understand it. I can't really say that I understand it better now, but things seem less clouded. Maybe something you draw from here will make it more clear.

We spend our time looking for something --
...something we cannot see...
...something we cannot learn...
...something we cannot smell...
...something we cannot hear...
It can only be felt. It cannot be found as it was never lost. But it is there - waiting for us to discover it. Once we do, it will never be stifled again. It becomes who we are from that point forward. Before, there were questions unanswered, doubts heard, and directions unknown. Although those still exist, where we go from here leaves us no way to go back to who we were. This is a new you. Your power and courage are undaunting and will radiate to those who need it most.

The pounding in our heart will be heard.
The hole in our heart will be filled.
This vision in our heart will be seen.
The passion in our heart will be felt.

We have to be willing to let it go. We cannot guide it - we must allow it to guide us.

The magnitude of doing nothing to fulfill our purpose is far greater than any pursuing we should take to fulfill that same purpose.

Complacency is not something we cannot accept when we are trying to change out lives. It is a delusion that confuses us into believing that this is all there is or this is the best it will ever get. We cannot go on living quieted, unfulfilled lives. Our capacity to impact those around us can not be contained but will shower us in awe of the greatness we have yet to find.

Leap. Take a step to change your life. You can. You have to want it, believe it can happen, and do it. Get your MOXIE on and be you!
