The last time a big shift happened in my life was three years ago. I felt it coming. There were many nights in bed when I thought, enjoy this steadiness because it's about to quake. And it did in the spring of 2009 when my boyfriend of almost five years said adios out of the blue. That little earthquake hurt like hell, but as we all know, life has a way of shifting in the right direction.
So I moved back to my home state of Texas from Tennessee and started a new life on my own. Three months later I met the man I'm still deeply in love with three years later. Now we have a little home and a little dog and things are just peachy. Except...
I feel the shift coming again, but I'm not afraid. This little quake will be different; there's a bubbling of excitement behind it. And every time I start feeling down about my j-o-b and my life purpose and all that, I hear, keep holding on. The door's about to swing open.
I won't even try to guess what it's all about, but it's good. I know it's good, even if just a little frightening. Life quakes always make us stumble a little bit, but that's how we learn to dance, no?
So I'm holding on, shaking my tail feathers, and waiting for the next big adventure.
