Biggest lesson of the last few years: if you are waiting for JFK Jr and Michael Jackson to take the stage together to do a duet, then you have missed the point. It's an internal journey — you are the plan, they are not. This is only as good as our collective will to step up, reconcile and reform the parts of our own lives, so as to become fully accountable.

My sense is that the "out there" stuff happens as we begin to collectively abandon the hunt for it. The wait forces us to stop seeking external salvation, at least in the temporal. Indeed, it is the reverse... JFK and MJ are desperately waiting and eager to meet the real and responsible you, so please step up and level up!

Yeah... that's what I've been doing for the past, I don't know how many years. Happily, I've just recently turned a corner, in that regard. Great healing has taken place within me, and as a result, a healing of sorts is now taking place within my marriage - within my relationship with my husband. It's been a long time coming, and there's still miles to go, but the journey has definitely begun, and that really puts a very big smile on my face. A bit of a miracle, I say, just to have gotten this far.
Really glad that I decided to take the high road - really glad that I didn't bale out! :)
