Why I'm doing this

Life afforded me an incredible journey.  The incredible nature of this journey wasn't immediately easy to see; rather it was hidden behind curtains of pain.. lots of pain.  Many days I just wanted to give up.  But instead, I researched, asked a lot of questions, and took a good look at .. well... basically everything.

This new journey is what I hope to capture in this blog.   Am I done?  Nope.  I definitely do not have everything figured out.  But I am far enough into the process to see hope, which eventually will be replaced with knowing.

I guess you could say I have done my own "Eat, Pray, Love" journey.  It has been filled with simple things, like breathing, stillness, health, attitude, compassion and flow.   It has been an exploration in energy, life-energy.   How had I let it slip away from my daily experience?   Where did it go?  Is this just a process of getting older? Why do I hurt all the time?   So many questions, mostly how I had changed through the years, changed to the point where I almost didn't recognize myself.  how cliche.

So, in the blog, I hope to capture my journey for myself, posterity and for anyone else who have looked around to find they are nowhere near themselves.   It was like I was standing on the shore of a large lake, watching myself - my real self - float off into the distance.

So I will have thoughts, revelations, health tips, research, information (herbs, disease, energy, etc), and a personal atta boy every once in a while.  Hope you enjoy.
