Go Ladies

Hey Family, I am watching the Women's Relay Swim Finals and ... 52.44 for Dara Torres !!! She swam the anchor leg and pulled her team from 4th place to 2nd. Can you say 'Silver Medal' ? So, what is so special about Dara Torres some of you may be asking ??? She's at the Games without her coach because he's back in the States fighting for his life and she is doin' it at 41 years young. The sense of responsibility and pressure on her shoulders must be so, so, so intense yet she fights on. Dara is just like you and I. Her world revolves around water ... yours maybe your family. She is under the scrutiny of judges ... your boss may be your thorn. Dara is after a gold medal ... you're after turning your dreams into reality. Girl ... kick butt and take names ! This is you moment!! Don't let the lame excuses such as age or gender control your life any more. Launch out into the deep. Challenge yourself to go deeper, work smarter and WIN ! Push past the pain of rejection and/or fear of failure. Feel the fear and do it ANYWAY !!! Blessings, Bliss This was written Sunday nite ... I think. I am going on vacation again ! This time to Beautiful Jamaica !!! So take care, try not to miss me and I will share some Jamaica Sun when I get back !!!

THE FRIEND ~ MY TRIBUTE TO THE EXPERIENCE THAT WAS KELLY L GOLLIDAY

well

i guess it's kind of like

two trees growing on

the same land

side by side

they both have seeds

different but the same

they both have fruit

just different

sometimes if it rains too much

for one the roots soak

up the extra moisture

or if there is too much sun

one shades the other

or sometimes

each just stands alone

it seemed we were like this

and our laughter

kept us from rotting

so that we could stand still

if our fruitfulness seemed

to fall from a distance

these two trees can look similar

but if you come close

you see they are so different

but yet their roots have

grown together over the years

i guess this is how we were

maybe
