Freedom of where to go…

Stuck again in Baja 2017

Stuck in Todos Santos, Baja 2017

On my way to Colorado for a road trip to sort out options. I find road trips help me pull together projects and how to prioritize them.

But make no mistake about it, just like life, it is not all so easy! There are many trials and tribulations. Just like with that artichoke there are prickly stuff and sometimes bitterness and hardness. We have to go through hot “water” to soften and marinate, but it all makes our taste of life…that much richer! This is why I do what I do, because it allows me to taste that small pallet of richness, that sadly, so few really get to experience…the heart of life! I don’t expect everyone to want to jump on an adventure motorcycle or a bicycle to unlock these feelings that turn into connections, but I do hope my experiences inspire you to stretch yourself to recognizing life without borders, without limits. Or maybe still seeing limits, but having the outlook that says, “I will have fun beating you!” It’s in the “striving” part (not necessarily in the winning part) where the richness and connections become living color!

Here is our opportunity to practice UNCONDITIONAL LOVE You know I will admit that this Bruce Jenner transgender change has been interesting for me to wrap my mind around. Not from a judgmental point, but from a life in general point. You see in 1976 when Bruce won Gold, I was a college pole vaulter, so I really identified with his image! I looked up to Jenner with admiration! He represented who we or most of us on our track team, wanted to be like. So now, almost 40 years later I sat and watched his interview with Diane Sawyer. I had many emotions, but what I have come away with is this thought; I so want ALL of us to feel loved, complete, happy and content! It is our divine manifestation...our right! Sometimes...many times for all of us, getting to this state of contentment is a work of a lifetime. And we are no one to judge how we all get there. I often felt so badly how we treated Michael Jackson. I have had numerous debates with others about the way we treated MJ. My position on Michael Jackson was that his dad was extremely hard on all of his children and pushed him to the point that Michael really didn't have much of a childhood. Therefore I feel like Michael missed out on his childhood and could relate to children because he didn't have a childhood and because he loved how children were non-judgment of him. However, I do feel Michael did not have good judgment, but was NOT a child molester. Our society and we people (driven by the press, which is ignited by sensationalism) are so abusively judge mental and mean spirited. Always looking to cast that stone towards at the next victim! It's sad, isn't it? I hope, we as a society, continue to learn from our past mistakes and really grow as to how we can love more unconditionally…unconditionally...UNCONDITIONALLY! We don't need to look to The Bible to find phrases or to our friends, as to how they think about things or our pastors. We need to open our hearts and feel love and compassion for our fellow man/woman and be at peace. God knows we need it!

As I go through this life, I always look forward to learning, achieving and most of all creating. It's what I feel is growth, and prosperity...and it's living! If I were to tell you, you were going to lose a sense, you'd be bummed needless to say! You see, today in 2015 we actually have 6 senses, not just 5! The reason I say this, is because with the advancements we have made in technology it creates a six sense. Let me give you an example. Imagine trying to communicate with a dear friend who lives out of state, who doesn't have a cell phone, who doesn't have a computer. You find you are doing something fantastic in your life, that you want to share with them in the way of pictures or a video. Now think about the steps you have to take to make this happen. Difficult to say the least! My dear Mom is 90 years old and lives thousands of miles away from me. She does have a Mac laptop computer and she does have a a cell phone, but because she doesn't really understand how to operate email or her cell phone, she's not able to see pictures that I would like to share with her. We siblings have all taken time to explain how it all works, but she just can't seem to grasp it. She's not resistant and has a great disposition and willing attitude, but because she hasn't stayed up or in tune with technology, it's very difficult for her to grasp and retain concepts in this way. It is almost like learning a language for her. Therefore my communication with my own Mom is severely handicapped and that's why I say it's like losing a 6 sense. I find that I can't share my life with my own Mom, in the way that I would like to and that's frustrating to me! The red flag that I've taken away from this experience with my own Mom, is to stay on top of technology! Here's the crazy part…I have friends of mine, 45 years in age and on up, who don't text and refuse not to text. I feel sorry for their resistance to prosper and grow in Technology, because I see what a handicap it ends up being and how this will continue to snowball to the point of what it would be like to lose a sense! When we were in grade school and learned our additions, we didn't stop and say we didn't want to learn subtraction, multiplication, division etc.? Why on earth do we feel that just because we reach a certain age we stop learning, prospering and growing? It's resistance, stubbornness and ignorance! It's what I call aging! How many times we rotate around the sun on this earth, does not define or create age! It's our mental attitude. We don't have to become technology nerds to stay on top of it all. But if we don't stay on top of it year-by-year, it's like trying to take calculus in high school without having basic math. Stay on your game...always be eager to learn, a desire to prosper and open to newness that comes your way...make sense? To me it makes complete sense...6 sense!
