I bet all of us have noticed at some key points in our lives that sometimes things just aren't as they seem. Something can look a certain way, feel a certain way or be a certain way and than in one instant all of it changes just like a flash.

It is another Sunday here in the south of Holland and I have had one up and down day filled with lots of talking to old friends and family who I have not spoken to in years. It is always nice to catch up and see how people are doing over the years. You start to take notice of ways that you are growing in the same direction and also those that you just don't have that much in common with anymore. It is the ebb and flow of life that occurs in all our lives.

Right now I am going through a major 'ebb' period of life. Where I am taking inventory of my life and checking in to see if I am going in the direction I need to be. And if the people around me are the best for me and vice versa. One thing I am getting reminded of these days is that someones actions speak more volumes than their words. This is a lesson that I keep learning over the years and still continue to learn. I dont think that people mean to be out of integrity with their actions and words towards one another, but we all do this as humans. In certain relationships this has helped me put things into perspective to not put too much stock in anyone or anything outside of myself.Of course I do have people I can rely upon but only to a certain degree. This is not to be pessismistic at all, it is just a lesson to learn to rely on yourself and make sure you are in integrity so that you can create more of that in your life with your relationships with others. It makes a huge difference.

Oh well another lesson learning in process :)

I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. Have a great week.

In love and gratitude,
