On this Good Friday, I reflect on years gone by, when we were in our hometown in Pennsylvania, looking forward to the Easter holiday together. Something that can be taken for granted, as if it will always be there........

It was one year ago, Easter Day, when my oldest shared with my family his plans to travel west. A crazy thought that seemed so incredible and adventurous.... and necessary. Loss has a tendency to suck the life out of a person, if the life left is not fostered and protected. And so he went.....

Sometimes I think not only loss, but the fear of it, controls a person as much as the event itself. We become a little more cautious, a bit more protective, not wanting anything else in life to cease to exist, for any reason.

As tough as it was to bid Jordan farewell, I knew it had to let it happen. Rather than focus on the loss, he is now living again......

Today Chynna received news we could only dream of hearing... she's been invited to participate in the USA Beach Volleyball HP, U23 Team, in an Olympic development training program. This will begin early May in Hermosa Beach, pretty much down the street a short distance.

Trusting all the details will work out with her new job and finishing up classes at Cal State Long Beach. So excited to see where her dreams could take her..... it's taken persistence, reflection, and determination to keep going at times, but she's always been up to a challenge. Check out her FB page if you get the change:)

A real estate agent told me today I remind him of a famous female race car driver, as he assumed a few things about me. One of those being that I'm a fast mover, lol:) I realize that as much as I have physically kept moving, I have done that much more in the spiritual sense.......

"I know that there's a meaning to it all, a little resurrection every time I fall"
