So there I sat with Wendy Davis Tuesday morning. If you have not heard of her, you will, because I will be watching and writing about her a little more closely on her journey to get well...whatever or wherever she wants to get. This was the conversation; ending up or enjoying the ride. I told her it ain't about getting there, it is about a canvass that you paint into your perfect world along the way. It is a journey that requires navigation and it changes as your canvass takes on meaning. The first thing you do is embark. Raise your hand, get up, get off your ass and do, first. It's a long strange trip, one that, if you fail to recognize that the journey is the purpose, you can get all caught up in the "ending up". I have most recently done this myself. Wendy totally gets it. And she helped me get my arms wrapped around my own personal need to renew my core values. Or at least a picture of someone with decent core values.
There are others like her, but this gal is tough as nails and is not afraid to cry out about how good she feels about who she is, while declaring her love for her husband and child, while glancing over her shoulder at her past as a reminder of her journey.
