“I never want to be like my parents. I know they must have loved each other at one time, right? Did they just get it all out of the way before they had me? How do you trust your feelings when they can just disappear like that?”

You may have noticed that the LBL tumblin’ was a bit sparse as of recently.

I feel like I’ve been sleepwalking for the past few weeks with the passing of my grandmother and the finality of a breakup. And I believe that women write down what they want to remember, and I’d prefer to remember my life as one long ribbon of joy, only briefly pierced by sadnesses. Learn from the sadnesses, but certainly don’t define yourself by them.

So I’m in the process of waking up.

I’m in the process of coping. I’m in one of the uglier stages right now—a stage where you struggle to celebrate others’ joy with them instead of resenting them for having it.

It’s also an opportunity for some deeeeeep reflection and soul-searchin’. Asking yourself the questions you were too afraid to ask while you were running along the trajectory you’d picked. Remembering (or reorganizing) priorities. Quiet. Lots and lots of sleep.

All that to say: I’m not worried about me. I always bounce. But it may be quiet for another few weeks. Stick with me.

Your dent

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 11:28:17 -0400

Are you making a dent in the universe?

Hint: lots of random pokes in many different spots are unlikely to leave much of an impact. And hiding out is surely not going to work at all.

It’s been a little quiet around these parts. I know. The silence inside my head has been awfully noisy as of late. It takes me a while to process events and feelings. I feel like I’ve been operating even more slowly than usual lately.

Do you realize?

I will follow you into the dark.

I like to be prepared. I like to have warning, to be able to steel myself against what’s to come. How can I possibly be ready for this weekend? Sometimes we don’t get the chance to choose. Sometimes everything isn’t about me.

That’s why God gave us grace. (I hope.)

Have you ever needed permission to “feel”? Permission to experience an emotion independent of the emotions and labels you put on yourself for feeling the feeling in the first place?

It’s the most freeing feeling in the world.!

“everything about you is a result of your doing or not doing… your income. debt. relationships. health. fitness level. attitudes and behaviors. i’ve often said that you are either creating or allowing everything that is happening in your life. i think everyone knows this in their hearts, but often times people convince themselves into thinking that external factors are the source of their failure, disappointment, and unhappiness. external factors do not determine how you live. you are in complete control of the quality of your life, by either creating or allowing the circumstances you experience.”

“Patience child, patience. Remember, life is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there’d be no point to living. Enjoy the ride, and in the end you’ll see these “set backs” as giant leaps forward, only you couldn’t see the bigger picture in the moment. Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up everyday, stay true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek.”
