Tidal Wave

The ocean represents unfathomable vastness. The shear power that it possesses and its unpredictability frightens me, yet at the same time, it completely fascinates me.  

A calmness washes over me when I can safely view the ocean from a distance. Physically being on the ocean is a totally different thing; it is something I do not relish. 

That's the irony, right there: intensely drawn to something, yet so very wary of it. What's with that? 

Why does this issue even exists for me? I don't recall anything bad ever happening to me when I was little in regard to water. Growing up, we hardly ever went to the beach, and hence, explains my lack of enthusiasm for the ocean for most of my life. Now that I have more control over my life and my actions. I am finding that the ocean is what I need most to settle me. Maybe this explains why I crave to be near it now. I love being near the ocean and now live within two miles from it. I can smell the ocean in the air on most days.

It's been year since I've actually been on the ocean. Oh, I may get in it and swim, but I am a "stick to the edge" kinda girl. It's been safe there at water's edge all this time, however, it's not exciting nor is it challenging. 

 I felt my soul shift the past year and view the ocean differently now. I am confronting my fears...all of them. I am facing my self-worth, how I view myself, and what my perfect partner will look like. I seek strength and positivity in all of these things. So, I am letting the Universe guide me in a direction that she feels fit.


THEN THERE IS THE TIDAL WAVE. The powerful surge beneath the ocean controlled by the gravitational pull of the moon. This too is unexpected. Like so many other things, I equate this to life. You can't stop a tidal wave; you can't even avoid it. It comes for you and all you can do it brace yourself and let it occur. By staying on your normal path along the shoreline, you will not be able to avoid it. The only means to evade it is to quickly head inland and seek shelter. BUT what if this was not the path you were suppose to take? There is a reason the Universe has targeted you with a tidal wave; it's time for a change and a cleansing is long overdue. Let that salt water wash over you. Allow it to sink in.

The Universe will not let you fail, even though you may stumble and fall. This was meant to happen; you will see. The end result may scare you. Too bad...you're NOT in charge! Face your fears  and stare that tidal wave down.

I feel a tidal wave coming my way. 
I hear it's silent roar. 
I am planting my feet firmly in the sand, 
for this is where I belong.

The Mighty Moat

Image
moat / mōt / noun noun: moat ; plural noun: moats 1. a deep, wide ditch surrounding a castle, ort, or town, typically filled with water and intended as a defense against attack. I protect what I have with intense, unmatched ferocity. What I see in my life as needing personal protection against attack are my family, my hard-earned skill sets, and my heart .  A vision that comes to mind when I reflect on the level of how I protect what is important to me is one of warding off a bear attack.  Me: 5'2" Bear: 8'5"  Would I put myself directly in harms way if my family were at risk? Absolutely! I would, however, take all measures to not find myself in a situation such as that (that is where the moat comes in). Actually, you will probably never find me camping in the middle of the Adirondacks cooking steaks on a grill deep in bear country. But I would take whatever steps are necessary to protect what is critically important to me if a b

Dunkin' Donuts in Starbucks Cup

Image
Sometimes appearances don't always ring true. What you see, may not truly be what you get. What if there wasn't Starbucks coffee inside of this Starbucks cup? What if it were Dunkin Donuts coffee? What?! This doesn't necessarily mean that something is "fake", but merely a misconception of what the truth really is. Sometimes, image is everything. Coffee is coffee, right? Lol! We've all heard the old adage, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." It's time to look deeper, folks. Evidence can be found in brand "knock-offs". At a distance, sure, it may look like a Louis Vuitton bag, but up close (sometimes NOT so up close) one can see slight variations from the original product. Knock-offs run the gambit from handbags, scarfs, watches, sneakers, and especially gemstones and jewelry. Is it that necklace really gold? Is that a real  diamond? Again, from a distance it may appear so, but under a trained eye (and often even the untrained e

In The Trenches

Image
I have to admit, there are times for me over the past few months when I have been completely unfocused. Lately, this has become the norm. I have placed myself in the "entrepreneurial trench", and trust me, there's a lot going on down here! Even though with an image of a trench, one  conjures up thoughts of solitude and isolation, I did not realize how much the outside world would effect my little world down in this proverbial trench...until it did.  I am not only am I working on myself and accepting the changes to myself as they appear, but overall, I am working for change and growth in others apart from me outside my trench. I am working so hard in my little space down here, so that ultimately my "work" touches, shifts, and positively impacts those who need it in my present circle and beyond. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, being in the trenches means a place or situation where people do difficult work. Ya...that would be it; that would also be the Vic
