Much like some people wear many hats in their lives, I wear many masks. I have never figured out if this is how I hide from the world, or if is a coping mechanism of finding what I need inside of me. If my heart needs a smile, then I search for people that I can bring a smile to. It brings me comfort. Yeah, that is a bit backwards since I technically find that smile outside of me, huh?
I am the whisper of the waves as they gently approach the shore searching for life.
I have seen darkness in my life, but I am not a victim. I am a survivor.
I am simple.
I am hope.
I am compassion.
I am a dreamer.
In the deepest parts inside of me, I am childlike in my passion for the beauty of the world around me. I giggle at the antics of a playful squirrel and watch the flight of a soaring bird, wondering if I too can fly. I talk to my dogs. And, I still believe in love.
If I have a gift, it would be a gift of being able to help others see their strengths – to believe in themselves – to see that they are so much more than they realize.
I am a child of God.
So tell me.... Who are you?[/color][/font][/size][/b]
