Sometimes it is not easy
The memories live on within me
The moments are still there
Deep in my mind
The laughter, the smiles
They feel as if they happened yesterday
It is amazing how quickly time passes
How time can drift us apart
Yet how deeply we still remember
There is always a lesson
Something to be learned
There is always someone else out there
Pushing you to recognize something
You may not have noticed
Something you need to see
Sometimes it takes a couple of trys
A couple of people
Sometimes it is more like a battle
But in the end
It happens
The light bulb goes off
It clicks in your brain
You wonder why you never knew this before
It all makes sense
It all seems so easy
You realize the struggle was worth it
The pain has subsided
And beauty is before you
There are moments
When we feel
Like we are struggling
To hold on
And keep it all together
There are moments
When we feel
Isolated
Alone in this universe
With no one to help us through
In those moments we must realize
We are never alone
Ever
There are others
Hanging in there with us
Each moment that passes
There is someone
Cheering us on
Holding our hand
Looking out for us
In some of these moments
The support is in the background
Other times it shows up and scoops us up
We wonder how they knew we needed them
But they just know
Life is amazing in that way
Our deep connections with others
Makes words unnecessary at times
It is just a feeling
And it is powerful
So know that
No matter how far down you feel
You are not alone
There is someone watching over you
Ensuring you will make it through
Hang in there
It is not about fitting into a certain mold
Mingling with a select group of people
Not feeling comfortable in your own skin
It is not about who you can be at any given moment
Fitting into any situation
It is not about that at all
It is about being your truest self
Doing what it is you love
Fully submerging yourself into the things that make you happy
It is about looking at life through your eyes
Soaking in the feelings that come with the moments
Really knowing yourself
And being happy with who that person is
It is about dancing when you feel like it
Even if no one else is busting a move
It is about pushing forward
Even though others may not agree with your choices
It is about standing firm in who you are
Even when you are challenged
This is your opportunity
To play
Dream
Dance
Laugh
This is your moment
To create
Exactly what you desire
Do not hold back
Listen to what your heart is telling you
And go for it
Do not worry about others
Listen only to that tiny voice that whispers
When all else is quiet
What is that voice telling you?
I am a dreamer
A really big dreamer
Usually my dreams are just that, dreams
But sometimes things happen in my life
That I never could have dreamed up
Magical things
That blow my mind
And fill my heart with love
Today one of those things happened
A dear friend of mine,
wrote a story about me
And it was published in
With two of my poems
I am stunned
Amazed
And keep pinching myself to believe it actually happened
When I saw the magazine in the bookstore I almost fell over
I met Mindy two years ago on the Oregon Coast
At the time I never realized so much magic would unfold between us
But it has
And is incredible
I have a feeling this is just the beginning of more magic to come
It gives me goosebumps to see my writing next to her
It is amazing what can blossom out of love and support
Friendship opens up the door of possibility
We are able to spread are wings and soar
Knowing that we have someone to lift us up if we fall
Mindy has held my hand and gently nudged me along the way
Opening my eyes to things I never knew possible
She is an extremely talented artist
And has this incredible warm heart
I am so blessed to have her as a friend
Thank you Mindy
For your love
Support
And sunshine that you carry with you
