dear 'friends'

... I am doing GREAT these days. Life is, contrary to the wishes of meine feinde (not to be confused with meine Freund) , better than could be expected. There's something to be said for being honest and up front about what one thinks. Yup. And there's even MORE to be said for working with folks to find resolution to difficult situations.

so...quickly and in a nutshell (as I'm busy busy with work)

The children are GREAT

work (Dave's Gourmet) is GREAT

work (independent) is growing and GREAT

Personal Life is coming along quite nicely

Personal Development is GREAT

so all in all... life is wonderful. We're all working hard to achieve our dreams and having the adventure of a lifetime doing it.

Booyaka, Booyaka, BOOYA!

of privacy...

since there's no such thing... or... there's no such thing in MY little corner of the universe... this blog is once again public.

I don't write here regularly or consistently... but occasionally will rant and chirp about what is on my mind. Just be advised that when I write...occasionally, I vent. This is my place to do that... if you don't like what you read...fine.

for those who find collecting and distributing my entires entertaining... rock out with your cocks out (apologies Mandy for the coarse language!)...there's nothing left you can do to wound my heart. Just remember...what goes around comes around.

paths...

I have paths laid out before me... some of them seem easy to traverse, others seem more rocky and harder to navigate.

We are not speaking of the important matters. We quietly go about our daily lives and try to be 'us'. I feel like I am in a testing period while others decide if they actually likes who I am or not.

for my part, I just wish I could curl up in a corner and cry away the hurt I feel inside.

Things I believe:

I am a good person.

I have great capacity for love and forgiveness.

I am a moral person.

I have the right to choose a path in live that benefits my children and myself over others.

There is no one in my life more important than my children.
