I just found another pair of Lynn's writings!!! I can't help being excited. Could it be she is sending them to me or me to them? I have hungered for something more she'd left behind all this time. I searched all over her pc after she and our father's funerals, hungry for the few gems that I did find then. I don't know why I never looked so thoroughly through her laptop. Am I wrong? I mean, she had to know there'd at least be the possibility that we'd go through all of her things--including on her computers--and she had plenty of time to get rid of anything she did not want others to find. That's it then! These are her last gifts to us and that's that!

The only choices are fear or faith.
I want to rage! “Sike”, no, I don’t…but isn’t that how I should be feeling?
What does it mean that I have no rage, no anger and no sadness about a life which has been wasted? Does it mean that I have lived a good life, filled with love and happiness? Does it mean that I really do believe that the pain or sadness that we experience makes us appreciate the good times? Is life really a roller coaster ride filled with ups and downs…but all of it thrilling? Is my glass always half full and never half empty? Let’s see, what else have I been telling Gia all these years…
Success should be designed by each person for themselves. For me, it has nothing to do with climbing the corporate ladder or making a six figure income. My wealth has always been about love and how much of it I have…creativity and much of it I can use…courage/faith and much of both of those I am willing to use. Climbing the corporate ladder was fun for me, as long as I was climbing to a new position that would entertain me. Making more money allowed me to do things for others or play a little harder. Neither are things that I put on my success page. My success page is filled with the people I’ve loved, the people I’ve helped, the people that I have inspired to be the best that they can be and things which have celebrated or showed off the gifts and talents that God gave me. The most fun & pain that I’ve ever had has been on the projects that I created out of thin air, nothing but a thought or nothing but a feeling that “I think I can”.

Have our jobs become our identity? What happens when, what was once the biggest focus of our lives (our jobs) become the smallest fish in our pond…Or that job no longer exists due to illness, retirement or loss of that job. Who are we then?
How are you introduced at a dinner party? What do you say when that dreaded question comes up “So, what do you do?” If you answer truthfully are you dismissed as un-important or un-interesting? What do we put on our business cards? Do we even carry cards anymore?
