As the room filled up, and we were adding extra chairs to the
side aisles, I ask, “Anyone from Louisiana?”
Several individuals raised their hands, and I talked about being raised
in Baton Rouge by a very loving mother that lost her fight with cancer as I started
college. Those were good family years, but
hard years. After college I was an
Airborne Ranger during Vietnam, and at that time thought my soldier journey
would be the hardiest of my life. I now realize
our life journeys unfold in ways that prepare us for what is to come, when we
slow it down enough to be open to life lessons.
Today walk slowly and absorb life’s energy and lessons.
