The Story of my Life...

I sit here, just hours before my next journey takes off.  For some, they said you can't.  Some they said you shouldn't.  A few said, i wouldn't...but for those who said go for it, THANK YOU!  This next season of life is going to be pivotal in my growth spiritually, emotionally, educationally and relationally.  I have already seen the downsizing of life going on in my mind...and closet!  Going from a house to 2.5 suitcases is a huge challenge.  I loved gathering things and having the comforts of life, but for what purpose?  What really do these material possessions bring us?  I am sure there will be struggles, there will be challenges.  I am excited to face them head on to this new paradigm shift.  What seeds will be sown and what will I reap in this season?  Who will I meet?  Who will I influence and more importantly, who will influence me?

If I have learned anything recently, is the value and season of friendships.  There are those friendships that are forever.  Distance, nor time keep these bonds apart.  There are those friendships that are seasonal.  They are in your life for a season and then move on.  There are the popcorn friendships that come and go. People that pop in and out of our sphere from time to time.  Yet each friendship/relationship molds, contributes, enriches my life to a degree.  In all, I feel I am a wealthy, prosperous and fortuante man.  Realizing that relationship are the treasures of this life will matter more than any portfolio or Burberry collection. (that takes a lot for me to say. I heart Burberry)  Stay tuned for more reflections and an insight look at this journey ahead.  I am sure it will have its laughs, its lows, its rewards and its challenges.  It will have its lessons that will continue to shape how I view life and others.  This is the next step of my journey.  Its the Story of my life....
