I have spent the past months working to make a dream a reality... i had only... from the beginning of this dream... set my heart in the place of giving... of sharing... of loving... for the sake of a call... and hoping to find a great love in return... i have seen this dream become a reality... and it was grace that made that dream a reality... the graceful love of a few... that trusted my ability... that knew my heart... that put faith in me... to fulfill a dream... my heart is more blessed by these others than even my own desires have imagined... a dream that started with a conversation with my husband and a passion for others... and by a genuine faith in me... to what became a common goal... i have so many to thank for the blessings upon my life... as this season begins to take hold of our lives... the business of shopping... of search for the perfect gift... of choosing colorful papers... baking and cooking... of traveling from home... to celebrations with family and friends... there is one theme and message I wish to share with you... a message from the heart of my friend... whom I was blessed to introduce to a sanctuary filled with friends and strangers... words of love... "come on in... no need to knock upon my door... come on in... i know what you came here for... come on in... all I have is your to give you... and though you know I stand unqualified... come on in"... may your vision be filled with a candle burning in a window... drawing you closer... to trust the spirit of the season... to find rest in the arms of the one who came to give you life... on this silent night... may the peace that passes all our understanding... keep your hearts and minds... and may you find the true spirit of the season of Christmas... Merry Christmas to you, boy and girls... Brothers and sisters...

The memory is a funny being... i see so clearly yesterday... those are the stories we share... our pictures are perfect....full of color... scenes filled with love... life... experience... tasted... treasured... it is part of a bigger picture... i see a life before... when time often stood still just based on a mood... the end of a day... the depth of a moment... captured in time...yet brought to life... through the heart of another... one created in unconditional love... that which brought a light into a world that began dark... story less... distant... misunderstood... yet... as time passed and days of darkness became filled with memories of another day... one who was before a time... who gave an all for the sake of a cause... which unbeknownst to you... your time had not come... yet in the sunrise again on another day... which the heart of this one gave life to another... i for one never felt that truth until I dared to dream... of a small love that would fill a place that was never...
Well this is the end of the first day of possibly many or even a few... i have tried to remain positive, consistent, hard, just... and right this moment I do not know how I feel... what I should feel... this is truly a place where I knew I was and yet decided to deny... the disease infests, inhabits,  enables the distrust to enter behind a steady fast faith... no matter how distant the goal seems to be... the nearer desire... to want to be relived of a heaviness that can only be explained by the action of others... who have been placed in an environment of trust... misfortune... resort... lack of choice... so to end this day in a place of even more uncertainty... no different from the recent past... i wonder outloud... is this really what you had in mind for me... again...
Interesting observation today... i attribute it to society and our lack of patience... our need for speed... lack of consideration... a commodity of time... and while these all mean something of the same... here i will begin this diatribe... i was waiting at the stop light today... the scene played out much like this... the cross traffic to which I was waiting had been brought to a halt due to 3 senior aged women...waiting patiently for the walk icon to flash on the stop light... one gentle spirit was with a walker... this was during a busy time of day and frankly on a corner that were you to step off to soon...at this particular corner of town those who are approaching tend to do so with speed... to which you could easily be sent to your reward... these were and had been waiting patiently for the icon signal to change from hand to walk signal... to which upon progression thru the walk lane... albeit a slow and steady pace... they were met with again the held up hand... traffic all...
