Your new title really FITS! I love the change.
Also, this passage, at first I thought you were relating a scene from your teenage years, perhaps because it felt like MY teenage years… running off in fits of crying and longing for some different sort of life. Poignant questions, as well as uplifting with the hope of light beyond the darkness.

You’d probably like listening to Clarissa Pinkola Estes The Woman Who Runs with the Wolves.

I wrote a post about it here:

I’ve started collecting ‘gyspy’ skirts from the thrift store to start wearing this spring, because I want to change my image to match an inner transformation.

Best of luck,

Casey

Great description of a classic shift. From another vantage point, it seems to happen with or without motherhood. Jobs, societal expectations, and perhaps proving maturity to oneself and others can strip our gypsies of her colors. Age, however, can also reopen the door as our cravings outweigh our posterity … when I’m old, I shall wear purple. Happy Easter, and here’s to the holy resurrection!

Yes, Joanna, the journey is the process and the process brings our journey into perspective and our sharing with each other deepens our own view of truth and allows us to see ourselves more clearly and with more compassion. Blessings with Grace.

Congratulations, Joanna, on a road well traveled! Traversing my own winding trail, I find it is all about giving your all – win or lose – and continuing the journey forward with anticipation. Perhaps it is the anticipation, the faith in Self, in God (however envisioned), and in the fact that we are each here to bring and experience this Life with everything that we are, that is perhaps the greatest gift. You are a wonderful human being, and I’m grateful for sharing this grand adventure with you. Blessing in all that you embrace!

Wonderful! I think I’ll print this out and put it on my fridge to read each day as I enter the new year. I’ve really enjoyed the whole alphabet – well done!
