Yes, I’m Alive and Kicking

I know, I know … I’ve been below the blogging radar for a while! However for some very good reasons: disconnecting from the virtual world, grounding myself in the earthly world, living life to the fullest and feeling fully alive!
“Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive – the risk to be alive and express what we really are.” ~ Don Miguel Ruiz
My uncle Frank’s death last April was really a blessing in disguise. When someone close to you dies, it kinda makes you re-evaluate your life and reminds you we have a limited amount of time on this earth (in this lifetime anyway!). It made me re-focus on my passion and purpose in life.
My original plans for the summer were swept aside, and what evolved was a sublime summer focused on adventure, travel, connecting with old friends, self-reflection, encounters with the divine feminine, and lots of art. I will write about some of these adventures in later posts.
“There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.” ~ Federico Fellini
It is so good to feel passionate about life again! We really do only have the present moment and we are blessed to be alive, even if sometimes it does not feel that way. So when things seem difficult and you feel half dead, just try to keep going because at some point you will begin to feel alive again.
“What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What’s it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who’s got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who’s gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive.” ~ Simple Minds, Lyrics to “Alive and Kicking”
