The blog hiatus has continued, because, well, I havent wanted to write.
I wish I had a better reason, but I just don’t. Time has been a very precious commodity in my life the last three months, and I have this trait of completely going after things that I love. And If I don’t want to do something, I just don’t do it until I absolutely have too. This is of course not always a good thing, especially when it involves cleaning… So, lately I’ve lost some passion for taking time to write…but then I was roasted.
I’ve been roasted by this idea of things coming to an end, and questioning as they’ve ended, have they been done well or not. Case in point, my girl Oprah. Season finale of her incredible show happened yesterday. 25 years of TV done well, coming to an end. I know not everyone would agree with that last statement, but I love her. Guarantee Oprah is looking back on her 25 years, and she is confidently saying….this was done well. And now she will continue her trek with a new way to take over the world.
Many things in my life have been a bit in limbo the past three months and now they have or soon will be coming to an end.
One highlight of something that has recently come to an end was The Autism Speaks walk which took place last Saturday. When I look back on the last 27 years of my life, and think about some of the highlights, May 21st, 2011 will be one of those highlights.
This is an event that is finished, and we finished it well. For 5 hours straight I was humbled to the point of tears for many reasons.
Reason 1; being surrounded by 20,000 people all their to support the cause of finding resources and support for kids and adults on the Autistic spectrum.
Reason 2; our team, consisting of 20 people (only 6 of them working directly with kids with Autism), raised just under $2,000 for that cause. Unbelievable.
Reason 3; I firmly believe that people who do great things, have a great team beside them. When you have people beside you believing in you, strengthening you, walking with you, you are a stronger person. Period. I was humbled beyond belief at my team that I saw next to me on Saturday. Many times you see your team that walks with you because something bad happens. You need people to lift you up, because you can’t without them, and they are there. This was a good day. There wasn’t a death, there wasn’t a big piece of devastating news. There was just a day, where people came together for a great cause, stood next to each other, and walked. I kept on looking around at this team beside me and couldn’t help but be inspired. My team is pure gold. And if they are behind me, I will do great things. I have no other options!
Full circle, why I was roasted about writing. Sometimes, you can’t just do things you want to do. We were made to do great things. We are loved so purely, so that we can love others and change the world. Writing is something I’m called to do. This book….its going to happen. And yes, I don’t always want to do it, but I’ve got to step up. So I’m going to try, because I know I have the an AMAZING group of people beside me that will help me stand when I can’t…and watch glee with me on just that typical Tuesday.
Go do big things. And be grateful for your team thats walking with you.
teamwork makes the dream work! If you had fun, YOU won! Give hugs NOT slugs. That was a good walk, glad I was on the team!
