Did I truly believe the world was going to come to an end on May 21, 2011? NO. I am not exactly certain why there are people who obsess over this kind of stuff and feel the need to instill fear in people. Haven't quite figured that out and to be honest not certain I even want to waste energy trying to.I have spent the last two years of my life focusing on living a life of purpose ...living my passion and focusing on what brings me joy. I am comitted to not allowing my career to create a stress in my life that takes me back to a place in time where I was losing control over myself. I am comitted to working hard on maintaining a healthy lifestyle where good nutriution and exercise have become part of my new daily routine ..it isn't a chore it is a welcomed inspiration. I am comitted to healing past hurts and looking deep inside myself so that I may use the experiences in my life to help others and to be a better person each and every day. I am committed to maintaining an open mind that will allow me to have the courage to enjoy and experience new adventures. I want to enjoy watching my son grow as he begins to step out on his own..and to revel in the warmth of family time and time spent with friends that I love and adore.
There are days when these commitments to myself can seem daunting but I have learned to trust my body and myself enough to follow the path it leads me down. I am a thinker always have been , always will be and there are days when my mind never seems to stop. I have accepted that role..quite enjoy it actually! It allows me to question, to explore and to learn.
Do I need to worry about the world ending ...NO. We are all going to have the face the harsh reality that our life on this earth will eventually come to an end someday..until that someday comes I think I will use my energy to focus on the next healthy dish I can have fun cooking!
I prefer to Imagine and live with hope...it serves no purpose to live in fear!
In the opening lines of a new poem I wrote called The World is Changing..."The world is changing before my eyes as rulers crumble and leaders rise"
..the world..our world..your world..my world..is forever changing ..don't waste time wondering when it end...embrace it while you still can!
