And Just Like That [Snap] Time Flew!

And just like that "time" shot pass! I looked over recent blog-posts only to find that there were no recent posts; there were NO posts. Where had I been since posting that last entry celebrating the entrance of 2010? What have I been doing that caused me to shut down the writing; the voice of the Counselor?

I could say sickness, ill health, and other major events prevented that but I am unsure if that would be altogether true. Reflecting over the past two years I see not only did I shut down in here but in my blog radio program as well, it too went silent. So what happened?

Change. Change happened within me. A great change even a transformation. The mindset especially is what changed me from feeling overly obligated to help individuals who really were not trying to help themselves but instead wanted to keep me chained to them producing nothing but the same stagnant conversations and day-to-day actions that ended bearing nothing but dead phone batteries.

A change occurred in me only after revelation came to me through the Lord Jesus Christ that in order for me to meet destiny I had to drop the weight that so easily beset me. Weight that keeps you on Facebook all day; everyday. Weight that ushers in a routine of reruns, old jokes, old movies and old lies. Weight that never pushed forward but continually pulled backwards only to keep one looking backwards at the familiar. Weight that compromised every dream, every achievement, and every possibility. Weight.

It's no different than the physically overweight that is bond from movement, from exploring beautiful antique stores, and beautiful places of travel, from indulging in the spirited events of life, so shall it is with weight overall, it keeps one from moving in the now. It keeps you off balance and always on guard. And for two years I have had to come to terms with the weight of my mind, of carrying people that I should have never picked up.

Do I find fault, point fingers, blame? No. This was a learning experience. I can hear my precious mothers' voice saying, "Experience is the best teacher." She, as always, was right...the experience lived is more valuable to me than a dozen golden roses. For experience usually is a precursor to wisdom (one would hope) and with experience - choices. And choices are truly an individual affair! Welcome back!
