Reality - you are not alone

My public life (the SoMe one) is all travel, good times and fun but let's be honest, no one has a life that is perfect like that - okay, maybe someone does, but not me. My life is amazing, and I try to live every moment of it, good and bad.

This weekend was a weekend home after a week of reality - a welcome weekend home that was just as amazing as the weekends away.    The weekend was  mixed of mourning and celebration of life, comforting a dear friends and family, dancing and dining with friends.  Now, I am back sitting in front of my computer, where you will find me Monday-Friday, working on a job I really do enjoy, and that affords me the flexibility to work wherever I am.

Right now, as I sit in front of my computer, I am praying for friends, for family, for all of us as we all have things going on in reality that others may or may not (more times than not, it is the latter) be aware of or that is to be shared.  So here is what I say today - I am praying for all of you, whether you think you need the prayers or not, whether you believe in prayer or not, I believe in the power of prayer on my end. 

I am not praying for your happiness as I don't presume to know what you happiness is to you.  I am praying that you are at peace with where life is today because we cannot always change what is happening, we usually don't have control on that, but we can find peace going through good and bad times.  Peace might mean laughter and joy, peace might mean sorry and tears - peace can only be defined by you, you are the only one living your life.  Live in the moment, know there is someone thinking of you, and embrace the peace and know, you are not alone.

Me and my Llama

So I work with an amazing company as a part of my new role and I kid you not, they have a llama mascot. This Llama emails us new ideas, course, features, you know, helpful work stuff.  Why does this matter?  Well, because I used to sing 'Me and my llama, going to the dentist today' from Sesame Street (oh yes, I included it for your viewing enjoyment) and I like llamas. 

Enjoy adult types - and don't forget to take your llamas to the dentist, they have teeth too.

It just occurred to me, this company I work with is a learning platform (a very general description) and I learned a lot from Sesame Street - coincidence?  I am sure not!  Oh, and here's to Big Bird & Oscar the Grouch...live on fun friends!
