Where did the time go? How did 27 years of my life happen so quickly? I thought by 27 I would be settled, on my way to PTA meetings and shopping for matching shoes and slacks. I thought I would be a stay at home mom with a cute business on the side. How did life become another period of starting over? Simple. Life happens. It is unpredictable and messy and unapologetic. It is also beautiful and precious and fleeting. So grab it and hold it close. Hold the business loosely and the babies tightly. Don't let the passion in your heart die or the light in your eyes dim. Don't forget to see people and not just look at them. Listen to the stories the older generation have to tell because one day you will wish for your own story to be remembered. It is okay for life to be hard and uncomfortable and testy. It keeps the fiery spark in us all burning fiercely.
