There are amazing people who walk this earth with such forceful, jubilant energy and spirit, that when you brush shoulders with one of them you can feel the wind. On a new years eve dance floor some time ago I brushed shoulders with someone like that. She is a strong steamroller housed in a beautiful body. Nothing, it seems, can stop her in her tracks or deter her from her goals.
I, myself, am not easily swayed or intimidated from large obstacles. But I know, that if this woman was headed in the same direction after the same thing I wanted, I would think twice before reaching for it. A force to be reckoned with …
The kind of force you want to cheer on and ask to meet you for cocktails after work.
Happy Birthday Monica. May the year ahead hold all the answers or at least inspire a whole new round of questions.
You inspire me and remind me to read this Rumi quote in the hard times . . .
“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.” -Rumi
