What a weekend.
What a place, what a group of people.
SO MUCH love and gratitude and understanding.
Such a contemplative weekend of how the beauty and the pain of this world come together and what the heck do we do with it?
Well with people like those SCCAPers around.. we do so much with it.
Gratitude and passion and fire and excitement and inspiration and motivation and love are a flowin.
And reality is big and scary and littttttlllee overwhelming but not with those things as your leadin ways of life and those people as the ones to inspire and force you to question yourself and be better. SO GOOD


Anyways... I was reminded to be thankful and hold on to the big picture and never loose sight of all this meaning and love and life that we are working for.  Its easy to get caught up in the logistics and the nitty gritty and the stuff that really doesnt matter. But when you step back and watch the trees blowin in the wind and listen to the hearts of others needs and wants and concerns... your reminded that we are really all in this for the same thing and we are really lucky and its a lot simpler than we let ourselves believe.

Mind you it isnt cake... it isnt easy and we cant just sit back and hope for it all to work out.
Its all about the balance.
And I am so very thankful to have that reminder.

Happy Monday. Happy week 4. Happy midterms and homework and jobs and real life. Happy birthdays and good days and sick days and up and down days. Happy times with friends and foes and rollercoasters. Happy reminders of inspiration and oh ya... thats what Im here for... to take on the world with all those things that flow like wildfire within me and between us.
XOXO
