Spring is in the Air....

The long awaited warmth from the sun, blossoming flowers and spring apparel is FINALLY HERE...

Spring is a time of new beginnings. As the earth is cultivating, rebirthing and growing-I am energized for change and setting the mood for what this beautiful transition between seasons will bring.

I went to a "meet-up" for a fellow Blogger in St. Louis during spring break and I was in awe of this beautiful young woman. I knew nothing of her personal journey other than what I read online or what I was told of her-and I was in amazed by her spirit and drive. She was poised, articulate, beautiful, personable and overall just super amazing! She chose a path after high-school, set off to college and became what she studied to be. She found something that she was passionate about and that changed the course of her life forever and transitioned her into a new life. (Who am I talking about?-Curly Nikki...-please see disclaimer below)

As I sat in the venue-I was extremely proud to see a young woman, a wife, a mother "transition"
from what she sought out to be into something-someone so iconic in this generation.

And of course, I started to wonder-WHAT THE ENTIRE HECK am I doing with myself? What is my purpose? Who am I? How can I change the world? What will be my legacy? And guess what..I GOT NOTHING..LOL..-But the lyrics to Radiohead's "Creep" come to mind....

"But I'm a creep
 I'm a weirdo
 What the hell am I doin' here?
 I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts..I wanna have control

 I want a perfect body...I want a perfect soul

I wish I was special....You're so Fu@kin Special"

But, that's totally not a bad thing. I too am in transition. I am embracing who I am, my role as a wife and mother and letting the universe choose my path. I am surrounded by so many people that have found their "niche" in life-and I too will figure it out....

I often envy people that have found their niche in life and are totally successful and noticed for their contributions to our society. But, then I thought, I do make contributions. I sow my seeds of laughter, friendship, sisterhood and experiences-and that's more than enough. And if the creator/universe has a bigger plan for me-then I'm OK either way. So, I've changed my feelings from envy to inspire! I am inspired to find and embrace my calling.

Life is like a season-it's forever changing, forever cultivating, forever growing and forever evolving. It's up to you to decide how you transition with each season.

And I'm patiently waiting for my season to change-living in the clouds as my friend Vanessa would say...

My advice is if you are still trying to find yourself-STOP! Let the universe guide your steps and embrace who you are in the process-LOVE YOURSELF, LOVE WHO YOU ARE and know you are MORE THAN STATUS, THAN MONEY, THAN material THINGS..You have a purpose...And it's yours!
