Because It Always Is, And Always Has Been.

I awakened this morning at 5:47A.M. I delight in mornings. Especially before the world begins to stir and become aware of the things I observe from my balcony. This morning, the air was crisp, with a bit of nip within. And for the first time in a very long time, I welcomed it. I believe this is the first year I have ever been happy to say goodbye to summer, regardless of the many sundresses I acquired this year. You see, when I began to transfer my winter clothing to my summer clothing (better known as "Closet Swap Showdown!"), I realized just how much my tastes have changed. I disliked most of the pieces I attempted to hang. So over the summer, I revamped the wardrobe. Gave away bags and bags of clothing and repurchased things I would be comfortable wearing. Classic pieces.

I have always said, "Dress for the life you want...", and that is exactly what I have decided to do.

The life I want is quite detailed. And would likely be somewhat surprising to most, if told. As I look back at my former self, I understand. I can detect most events that prepared me for this lifestyle. The things that strengthened me. Taught me to fight while on the ground until I grew muscles I never thought were possible to have. Each event led me to the next phase in my journey. Prepared me for what was to come. 

I understand that this is all very cryptic, but learned a very long time ago to never show my hand, prematurely. I can only say that another big move is on the horizon, and this time, I'm a bit nervous, which is odd, because I was never nervous about New York. New York has never been a city that intimidated me. By day 3, I was riding the subway by myself to meet up with my friend Nick. I honestly cannot think of another city more diverse, magical, and so full of diversions. (And let us not forget REALLY good food)

This move is different. But more about that later. I still have some loose ends to tie up. 

That, and I have not finished my first cup of Nantucket Blend, yet. The brain is still a bit hazy. :-)

I can only imagine what will transpire when I unpack my winter clothing. Hopefully, I will not have to replace that seasons wardrobe. Regardless, I am going to dress for the life I will have. 


I just reread this blog, and honestly cannot find much of a point to it. :-D

Maybe I am just a little excited about the life to come. Maybe I just wanted to share. 

Or maybe, I need a nap. 

I love you, you amazingly beautiful and crazy world.

Unwritten

From the very moment I awaken from slumber, my mind races. It is filled with words. They dance around and construct puzzles in my soul. Wisdom is gained, along with perspective. I think of others, and what makes them tick. I love. I wonder. I pray. There are times when the words surprise me. They reveal things I did not even realize existed in my mind. My thoughts exist in word form. There are always enough words.  

Lately, there have been questions that encircle my mind. My heart. My spirit. I ask God what the answers to these questions might be.

The unknown. 

There is a haunting beauty in the unknown. A thrill that maybe, just maybe, life will surprise you. We may never know all of the answers, but questions are easily obtained. Relish in those questions, for in those questions, you may find great hope and endless possibilities. Limitations vanish if you allow, and questions suddenly become irrelevant. The sky is the limit, my loves.
Never limit God.
