\u201cWould you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?\u201d<\/em> I am writing this on July 5, 2013 for posterity. The woman who is typing these words has lived more than 54 years on this planet, this time around and since she believes in reincarnation, likely eons more in a different form. She has loved and lost, stretched and shrunk, leapt and lurched, cowered in fear and stood center stage courageously. She\u00a0can be laser\u00a0focused or easily distracted\u00a0by a shiny thought.\u00a0 She can be serious and silly. She can celebrate the successes\u00a0of others and envy them. She can be patient and petulant. She can be judgmental and understanding. Such a dichotomy she faces each time she steps out on the road. There are times when\u00a0\u00a0 she has not a clue which direction to turn. Her inner compass sometimes spins wildly, sending her scurrying to make a course correction.<\/p>\n Like everyone reading this she is Divinely Human and Humanly Divine.<\/p>\n Sound familiar?<\/p>\n My intention is to consciously choose where to go, by\u00a0 noticing where my feet are planted, where I want to end up and then take the first step to get myself there. The tricky thing for me has to do with time and deadlines. If I knew, really KNEW <\/strong>that it didn’t matter how long it took to reach a destination, but that I needed to keep taking the steps, resting when called on, moving ahead when able and willing, then I would likely feel a greater sense of peace about it all. It took 20 years to manna-fest the interview with His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 2008, from idea to actuality.\u00a0When it\u00a0finally happened, did \u00a0I complain that it took so long?\u00a0 Nope, I reveled in the reality of it. I wonder sometimes if our ‘destiny’ is patiently waiting for us to show up where it is. Kind of like a stage set that wants us to step on to it so it can fulfill its purpose. That can be around a relationship, money, career, creative outlets, health, home….<\/p>\n This is what I am programming into my inner GPS today:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Any Road<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Give me that plenty of that guitar. In a car on a bike with a bus and a train<\/p>\n Traveling there, traveling here<\/p>\n Everywhere in every gear With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice<\/p>\n Ah yeah you pay your fare<\/p>\n And if you don’t know where you’re going<\/p>\n Any road will take you there From the past to the future through the space and the time<\/p>\n Traveling deep beneath the waves<\/p>\n In watery grottoes and mountainous caves<\/p>\n But oh Lord we’ve got to fight<\/p>\n With the thoughts in the head with the dark and the light<\/p>\n No use to stop and stare<\/p>\n And if you don’t know where you’re going<\/p>\n Any road will take you there May not know who you are<\/p>\n May not have even wondered<\/p>\n How you got this far<\/p>\n I’ve been traveling on a wing and a prayer<\/p>\n By the skin of my teeth, by the breadth of a hair<\/p>\n Traveling where the four winds blow<\/p>\n With the sun on my face, in the ice and the snow Sometimes you’re cool, sometimes you’re lame<\/p>\n Ah yeah it’s somewhere<\/p>\n And if you don’t know where you’re going<\/p>\n Any road will take you there With the spin of the wheel with the roll of the dice<\/p>\n Ah yeah you pay your fare<\/p>\n And if you don’t know where you’re going<\/p>\n Any road will take you there There was no beginning, there is no end<\/p>\n It wasn’t born and never dies<\/p>\n There are no edges, there is no sides It’s so far out, the way out is in<\/p>\n Bow to God and call him Sir<\/p>\n But if you don’t know where you’re going<\/p>\n Any road will take you there And if you don’t know where you’re going<\/p>\n Any road will take you there<\/p>\n If you don’t know where you’re going<\/p>\n Any road will take you there
\n \u201cThat depends a good deal on where you want to get to,\u201d said the Cat.<\/em>
\n\u201cI don\u2019t much care where\u2013\u201d said Alice.<\/em>
\n\u201cThen it doesn\u2019t matter which way you go,\u201d said the Cat.<\/em>
\n\u201c\u2013so long as I get SOMEWHERE,\u201d Alice added as an explanation.<\/em>
\n\u201cOh, you\u2019re sure to do that,\u201d said the Cat, \u201cif you only walk long enough.\u201d-Lewis Carroll<\/em><\/p>\nProfessional dream into reality desires today- since I can ask for them (and so can you)…\u00a0 have my book picked up by a major publisher ( it was self published originally), write for O magazine, interview Oprah and Ellen (not just be inter…viewed BY them), write for HuffPo, have my stories published in Chicken Soup For The Soul, do a TEDtalk, speak at world wide conferences on BYOB (Be Your Own Bliss) in whatever form that takes. Continue to be a positive change agent, showing folks that they can live ridiculously amazing lives and be a greater force for good in the world. <\/i> Thank you in advance, Universe for these coming to be. And for guiding my feet along the path~<\/div>\n
\nBut I’ve been traveling on a boat and a plane<\/p>\n
\nBut oh Lord we pay the price<\/p>\n
\nAnd I’ve been traveling through the dirt and the grime<\/p>\n
\nYou may not know where you came from<\/p>\n
\nBut oooeeee it’s a game<\/p>\n
\nBut oh Lord we pay the price<\/p>\n
\nI keep traveling around the bend<\/p>\n
\nOh yeah you just don’t win<\/p>\n
\n(Yeah hey! Ah ee ah! Ah he ah!)<\/p>\n
