In the beginning...

My Compass:
  • A life that people want to read about
  • Stories to tell that make people think
  • To wake up looking forward to the day
  • Colors
  • Deep conversations
  • Kindness given and received
  • Tough questions and honest responses
  • Long walks with a half-tailed black dog
My world has turned upside-down in the last three months. I am still disoriented sometimes, and some days still hurt. But the sun rose this morning in the colors of a phoenix's tail, whether I was awake and present to see it or not (in this case, I did happen to be awake).

I do not know where I'm going from here. I may keep teaching. I may move away. I may sell everything and start over. I may go back to school. I may wait until the path is clear. I may jump at something new and exciting tomorrow.

But I know the grocery list at the top of the page is my compass for today.
