a little diScourSe on dichotomy!

We live and walk in many worlds: Work, Friends, Relationships, Family, Church, School. Many, many things. We circumvent all the different lives and maintain all the necessary reposes...most often in some vapid and vacant glimpse or consequence of necessity and circumstance. Which is all well and good....

Until our circles overlap and school things spill into family or work things spill into relationships...There is no napkin to absorb these...So, what do you do? I say live it out!

Sometimes, life can't be compartmentalized. Sometimes the things that are exclusive of each other become inclusive of each other...So, you have to enjoy it and live it out. Follow the road,

till you figure out where it leads or at least what direction you're headed in.

If you keep straight, turn right or left, you don't know what will happen, but I bet if you turn that car around, you'll only be left with regret of the thought of what could have been? And, this is an uglier and more lonely place than and warm day on any country road (isn't that always where they are driving at the end of a movie?)

So, I guess my point for this little discourse is that all the little dichotomies of life shouldn't be that... maybe we should connect all our circles and walk or dance or skip through them because if not, maybe we are not really moving through life...

"I wear my sunglasses at...wait it's still daytime!"

Anyone that really know me, can tell you that the one thing that I am never, ever, ever without is my pair of Black Blinde Sunglasses.... (pictured above).

So, today I was headed to Green Hills, excited because I had one more stop before heading to Sweet Home Alabama. These sunglasses are such a source of comfort for me. Its like no matter my expression or thoughts, or demeanor... you don't know what it is... I also love that Giselle and Leo are fans of the line as well... I think Leo and I might wear the same style.

But, I digress... where was I? Oh, deep thought brought on by an everyday occurence...

I arrived in Green Hills and had to go into the parking deck and as I drove in realized that it was SO dark inside the deck...I couldn't see anything and couldn't figure out why until remembering that I had on my ever-faithful Blinde Sunglasses...

And, so you're wondering what deep though came out of this Blonde Moment with the Blinde Glasses... The thought was that sometimes the things that we have near to us or even cling to for normalcy, balance, or even regularity can be the cause of darkness or irregularity in our lives...

Sometimes what's normal or regular or comfortable to us, keeps us in the dark!

miRRoR, MirrOr, on the waLL...Who...am I?!?!?!?

So, while driVing frOm Memphis to NashviLLe today wiTh onLy a SWIFT freightliner in front of me and a brutal unforgiving SuN behind me in the WesterN sKy, I had a lot of tiMe to think...uh oh...

I was aLL about some rock music and whILe listenIng to SwitcHFooT..."we were meant to live for so much more..." I was kindA like...um, "What am I meant to live for?" WoW...waY too deep of a thouGht afTer a Long and suMMaRily teRRible daY!

So, I shifted a bit to a question that LieS above the AfoRemenTioned... Who Am I? After 29 years oF liFe, I can'T saY! I can teLL you things I do, like, feel, eat, read, inherent traits, wonders to my eyes, what makes my heart drop, beat fast, what sets in fear, what questions i have about life, what foods i like, what designers make me salivate ferociously, or what makes me throW uP a LiTTLe in mY mouth on siGht, or sOunD, oR thoughT... what'S imPorTanT to me, soMe goALs, dReamS and on and on and on...

BuT, is the SummaRy of thoSe thIngs me? thiS could be slightly vaPiD... my job, my clothes or Bags or shOes... save any Armani, Louis Vuitton, or Tod's...thoSe are heavenly cReaTions...hA....

Or am I the wHoLe that affects aLL the ParTs? We'LL ExPLoRe, maYBe, diScuSS...if You'D liKe...

Maya Angelou says "When people show you who they are, believe them." I am working on discovering this so, wHeN the PicTure coMpLeTes, I'll...um, show you, and If you can't invest the years this would take... then

oH?

doeS thaT meaN I havE tO reaD thE whoLe booK?

So, bright and early this morning I headed from Memphis to Jonesboro, AR - Home of Arkansas State Univ and not much else, right? Right. A fact confirmed by the citizens there. I was dreading this trip and have been for sometime. So weary of being in these podunk towns...I have to have the worst territory out there!

So, once I passed the natural beauty of crossing the River into Arkansas, I settled into my drive of nothingness... just me, the car, a bag of skittles and terrible cell phone signals. What a Life i Live?!?!?!?! You're jealous I know it.

Thanks to my friends that talked me through it and held on during the breaking signals that neVer waiVer when I asked can you hear me NOW? Awww, you Guys answered.... I didn't see much of Jonesboro, or I guess I probabLY saw aboUt all of it, SaVe the bonFiRes and banjo music...ha.

of course, there were the requisite Wal Mart Supercenters, I think 3 of them - beacons in a seA of nothingNess...

I actually worked with two ladies I had met last fall at a training, and the day was pretty gooD. I guess I was dreading this trip for nothing, and We really don't have to always read the whole book, but I guess we should open the cover with zeal and anticipation, not dread and anxiety, we might actually like the first chapter and who knows?

maybe the EnTiRe booK!!!
