Some days I find myself thinking about everything. My mind is consumed with thoughts and curiosity on how the world works, why and how things are the way they are and how I could change them. Many thoughts never go any further than my head and I'm sometimes stuck as to how to get them out on "paper" or screen I guess. I'm also starting to see more vividly that the world around me is changing. Not like global warming, mass media or politics but my friends, my family. The circle of the world in which I live in is getting bigger and I'm ready for it to grow. As I sit here and type, I wonder why anyone would want to read what I write. Or if I will write something anyone will want to read. And it is within that space that I do. I think reflection is a highly underutilized and underappreciated form of self-learning. At the turn of the new year I reflected back on what I concluded was to-date a most pivotal growth year in my life. At least from my perspective for as long as I can remember. It is with the reflection on last year's events and the path to them that makes me grateful for each and every one of them as a learning opportunity as I enjoy each day as they come. Cliff Notes from 2012: • traveled overseas by myself to visit a friend (and had no cell service which was truly delicious!) • traveled to India for work • ran my first 5 mile and 10K races • lost 30 lbs. • bought a house • got divorced • lived by myself Some would say those are major live experiences/changes, others may not. But no matter how you look at it, they changed my life forever. 2013 has already shared many unimaginable opportunities, I can only begin to know what is next. I may use this space to share my journey and maybe help others to start/continue/finish theirs. What is your journey?
