Up and down on this life’s roller coaster and I wonder to myself, was it meant to be this way? Yesterday, the mail brought a stalker’s letter from some guy in prison who saw me in the paper who said, “I consider you one of HIS greatest gifts to me.” Hmmm. <\/p>\n
Then a missive that stopped me in my tracks – COLD – stop, not pause, just STOP, COLD. I called a friend, she said, “Thank god …, Thank god … ., and I said, yes thanks, FOR WHAT? OMG.<\/p>\n
I am summoning courage, I am summoning the POWER OF NOW, I am summoning the will to continue on, soldier on, marching on – from whence will this courage, soldiering, marching come from though, I wonder.<\/p>\n
A friend posts this on Facebook:<\/p>\n
Name Withheld
\nWondering how things will be from here on out….
\nUnlike \u00b7 \u00b7 2 hours ago near New Orleans \u00b7
\nYou like this.<\/p>\n

\nabout an hour ago \u00b7 Unlike \u00b7 1<\/p>\n
Clarity tells me that I will make the most of this – that this is an opportunity – my gut tells me OH NO, NOT AGAIN. <\/p>\n
