I Am The Storm, I Am The Hurricane

In the midst of all this learning and being and doing and all of that I am becoming someone new along the way. Rather someone that I have always been but have been too afraid to make it visible to others around me who may find me brazen or rude in me clear cut decisiveness when it comes to business. Well yesterday evening while I was driving home from my consignment shop I realized something about me. I thought "Hey why not let me be me and stop conforming to what others thing or believe that I am?"
So this morning it was easy to get out of bed and make some decisions that I felt in my soul were the right ones. I just knew and in that knowing it is ok. Sometimes its alright to just be the beginning of everything and all else follow behind you.
See that's what hurricanes do. Hurricanes are announced and when that announcement begins people begin to do something strange. They begin to make changes in their lives based on the fact that the hurricane is coming in their path. It is never the other way around. We don't see people that are telling hurricanes to make way cause Tom, Dick or Harry is on the way no it is always man that makes the move to prepare for the power and magnitude of the storm that is destined to befall them. Hence my desire to not be the townspeople waiting but to be the hurricane that within earshot of the its name people make changes and flow to what the hurricane is bringing.
There are no choices in the matter either. Some of you may say "it devastates people you are so wrong for making a statement like that"
That may be true but you can look at it like this as well. Hurricanes may kill, it may destroy, it may change economies and people have to adjust to the changes that have occurred period. THAT is what I want to convey when I begin something, when I am a part of something no matter what it is I want to be the force that makes people DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Right now I am doing that. I have changed this community in the past couple years in such a way that when people see me I am revered and recognized. I receive that honor and am humbled by it but not ashamed of it any longer.
Today I embrace the fact that I am the storm and the hurricane and that the force within me is so strong and powerful that I too am making changes to adjust.
Lets see how this turns out.



Til next time
