YESSSSSSSS.....I really am a Grandma, I have 4 Grown-up (Well, as much as children ever grow up..LOL) Children and 6 Growing Grandchildren, another Grandson expected in April...... My Grand daughter really did invite me here...Probably so I could give her gifts... wink Actually it is because:<br />
I AM A KEWL GRANDMA... LOL..... I live in Chicago, (city girl) . I love Nature and enjoy Photography. I have begun practising Shamanism again and it feels GREAT! smile <br />
<br />
David and I have parted ways.....which is always a painful process.<br />
I am looking for a new job and starting a new chapter in my life.... <br />
<br />
NATURE IS ALL AROUND US ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS LOOK<br />

SING as if no one is listening<br />

LOVE as if you have never been loved before<br />

I would like to Share this wonderful Piece by:<br />
<br />
Oriah Mountain Dreamer:<br />
<br />
The Invitation<br />
<br />
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.<br />
I want to know what you ache for<br />
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.<br />
<br />
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.<br />
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool<br />
for love<br />
for your dream<br />
for the adventure of being alive.<br />
<br />
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...<br />
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow<br />
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals<br />
or have become shrivelled and closed<br />
from fear of further pain.<br />
<br />
I want to know if you can sit with pain<br />
mine or your own<br />
without moving to hide it<br />
or fade it<br />
or fix it.<br />
<br />
I want to know if you can be with joy<br />
mine or your own<br />
if you can dance with wildness<br />
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes<br />
without cautioning us<br />
to be careful<br />
to be realistic<br />
to remember the limitations of being human.<br />
<br />
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me <br />
is true.<br />
I want to know if you can <br />
disappoint another <br />
to be true to yourself.<br />
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal<br />
and not betray your own soul.<br />
If you can be faithless<br />
and therefore trustworthy.<br />
<br />
I want to know if you can see Beauty<br />
even when it is not pretty<br />
every day.<br />
And if you can source your own life <br />
from its presence.<br />
<br />
I want to know if you can live with failure<br />
yours and mine<br />
and still stand at the edge of the lake<br />
and shout to the silver of the full moon,<br />
“Yes.”<br />
<br />
It doesn’t interest me<br />
to know where you live or how much money you have.<br />
I want to know if you can get up<br />
after the night of grief and despair<br />
weary and bruised to the bone<br />
and do what needs to be done<br />
to feed the children.<br />
<br />
It doesn’t interest me who you know<br />
or how you came to be here.<br />
I want to know if you will stand<br />
in the centre of the fire<br />
with me<br />
and not shrink back.<br />
<br />
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom<br />
you have studied.<br />
I want to know what sustains you<br />
from the inside<br />
when all else falls away.<br />
<br />
I want to know if you can be alone <br />
with yourself<br />
and if you truly like the company you keep<br />
in the empty moments.<br />
<br />
If you like this one, look up The Dance and some of her other works!<br />
