A lot has happened in the past month, but I’m going to make
this brief.
The Journey’s program didn’t work out. I got the boot
because I was “too busy”. Still, the knowledge I gained in the program was
worth all the effort. The main principle I learned is: Something happened that
changed who I was, searching to get that person back is only going to waste my
precious time.
Realizing I’ll never be that person again was hard to
understand. Then an elephant jumped off my shoulders when I started to
understand the new me and began learning the tools to adjust. I question if
I’ll continue to climb similar hills and hope that what I learn reduces how
much sweat I drop while climbing.
Best of all, I feel Free. I am home and am ready to move on
with my life. I started up graduate
courses again and for the first time have the opportunity to focus on school
without having to also focus on work. I feel truly blessed. I have endless
things to be thankful for. Reminding myself this everyday is the key to my
bliss and I hope to always keep it close to my heart.
I am working on a book and am leaning toward calling it a memoir.
The focus will be my life as a Soldier and the objective is to give others
hope. Whether a homeless teen or veteran, I hope that what I have to say helps
someone, even if just a little. No idea “when” it will get published but I’ll
be sure all of my blog readers get a copy ;-)
My posts on here will be limited as I focus on school and
the book. Please feel free to contact me anytime. Never forget to love and give
because it is the essence of life.
Peace.Love.Unity.Respect - oh yes I did ;)
