Signs


Hello!
I am back from a crazy schedule hiatus! There is a lot to be said about the importance of being able to voice your feelings, opinions, ramblings, and thoughts. I said to myself that there was no way I could continue to write having my myriad of jobs, graduate school, and be emotionally present as a parent to two rambunctious boys. However, I have found myself going slowly crazy with my need to share stories, insane things I heard, and just thoughts about the struggles I see of everyday people in Los Angeles and the cyber-world.

For example, I remember watching the movie with Jim Carrey where he becomes God in order to see that being God is not easy and one of the parts he is asking for God to give him a sign and in front of him were actual signs saying “Stop” “Do not go” were springing up but he was not paying attention so he had an accident.

 
 


I thought to myself after something happened this weekend that there are so many times when we ask for guidance, be it from friends, God, family, and/or the Universe; however, when we hear things that don ‘t suit us, we ignore them. That is something that struck me this weekend as I have been in a situation in my life for 11 years and even though life has been very clear about what I should be doing, I ignored it in my search for unicorns and other unrealistic things.

 
 
As a Mom, I hope that I can help them see that the answer they seek, as inconvenient as it is, is more often than not, right in front of them, they just have to have the courage to accept it. What have you chosen to ignore?

 

Besos,
Bere
