Spin stories, tell stories, use words to help and teach. Love fully.  Let go of fear.  Have fun—it really isn’t that serious.  I thought I had to behave a certain way—remnants of a 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s upbringing (the previous generation taught me that).  Reminders of a time gone by.  Always trying to fit in and be acceptable instead of just being accepted—or accepting.  The world changes and us in it as well.  This is why we share stories.  Telling of times gone by—loves had, lessons learned.  People coming together and falling apart.  The beauty in every day life, in humanity, in tradition, in what works and is passed won, in learning, in creating, in exploring—in LIVING.  I was recently reminded of the flow, of the go when I saw an article about Matthew McConaughey.  McConaughey talks of Green Lights—there are those moments where it feels like the torrent, the flow of life has been released after being stopped.  But I’ve realized that all of life is a Green Light.  While certain things may slow down or be stopped, life itself does NOT stop.  We are a go from the moment we are born.  We may need to pause and evaluate and redirect– but this life never stops.  So I learn to focus on one thing.  Complete one thing at a time and keep notes on the rest.  There is a lot of world to see, so while we can’t see it all at once, we live and see it when we are meant to. I am meant to explore, to write, to travel, to love, to create, to unite—to tell the stories we need to share.  Stop getting caught in the muck and live fully: don’t stop.
