RECONNECTION: DAY SIXTY FOUR WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?

Since we grow up in a world that requires or at least requests us, or I guess we choose, to GO GO GO, and GO some more. Living and running, running and Living all over the place by a certain time, for an allotted time, making time, fitting someone in, got2go got2go, see you later, not today but MAYBE, who created a rain check and what bank can I cash it in since I have won the lottery with all of them, call you laters that never arrive or goodbyes that last forever known when shared that it will be the last time, but too scared and full of fear to explain why. Ever encountered these feelings or have received these types of remarks from others that you believe in? We are so obligated around the time of the day; time management, last minute, half past this and that, see you there if I can get out of this on time, or lets meet half way and chat for awhile while my child sleeps for his daily afternoon mid-week time out nap. Now with cell phones filled with calendars, appointment books, different formatted clocks, alarms, and voicemails, we are constantly reminded and pressed for time throughout the heartbeat of the day. Yes even our heartbeat is affected due to how we deal with the progress of time. Ever spend a recent day with no determined sense of urgency, without a phone, and just have a peaceful, breathtaking chill day where you focus on feeling, receiving, and rejoicing all that surrounds just YOU? A day of reconnection, a day of exploration, a day of celebration seeking elements of your life where you feel whole or want to create wholeness, and a day that you are given/provide the energy to stride tall with pride on a wide boulevard or pass by a unique side street cafe? A huge part of this project has been breaking down the barriers of my past, reaching out, and bringing myself closer to both sides of my family. I have a huge road ahead that I am embracing fully, and so far have so so so enjoyed creating/having a meal with cousins, and sharing openly with them. It has been wonderfully fulfilling and so look forward to discovering more about my family. Both of my parents have huge loving hearts and like to believe that my Buchanan/Van de Kamp family are welcoming and accepting too. I just thrive to bring family back into my life. Due to the physical/emotional distance that has been forced into our family structure, it has been an ongoing battle finally resulting in JUST giving in selfishly to do my own thing on my own separate path, BUT NO MORE, NO WAY..there is too much love to share, much more to receive, and life is so much more grand/precious when involving/surrounding oneself with others that are willing to open up. I have a family that is very diverse, filled with great knowledge/intelligence, and all pursue aspects of living that inspire me to connect, reach out, and enjoy. I have cousins in great relationships, with beautiful babies, kind young adults, and live life to the fullest all over the United States of America. Can't wait to continue my quest of entering their households,creating delicious cuisine,celebrating our common bonds, and keeping in touch from now until the end of time. Life is all about Love. Family should Share Love. Keep Loving Your Family. Thanks to My Family- RVB
