If I were near a giant explosion I would hope to be able to duck into a doorway for some level of protection. There is nothing, so much as chaos, going on for a few of us. I am actually staggered at the level of “upheavalness” that is reigning supreme. I keep watching burning debris waft by from my doorway, wondering, thinking a zillion things. Like: there will be a lot of ambulances and firetrucks soon. What happened? Was this an accident? Is there still cell phone service? I don’t think I’ll make that meeting at noon.
There are no accidents. Sometimes life has a way of catapulting us right into the middle of where we belong. Certainly a bloody violent way of maneuvering, but what do we want? Coddling or results? Well, heck yes, we all say “results” but the devil is in the details. However, happiness lives on the other side of that. We are not “stand on the sidelines” kind of gals. We got the guts to make it through this. Yet, our path lies through the fire. On the other side of the chaos. And we’re going to go through it – you KNOW we are. So, in the spirit of the Blue Moon Sisters mindset: Here, take my arm. Ready? If you see flames erupting from my person, please put them out and I will do the same for you. Deal?
This is a “no fear” operation. You do what you MUST. But that is the beauty of chaos. No matter what it looks like to you and me, the result is perfection. …You don’t see that? Oh. Well. Give it some time because chaos is a time-taker. When the dust settles, you’ll see where you are, how far you’ve come, and what it took for you to get there. Worth it? Oh. Hell yeah…
Now. Take my hand. Ready? No, no… don’t close your eyes. You’re gonna wanna see this so you can remember it correctly when you tell the story of “when.” Damn the torpedoes. Let’s go.
