When I was little I went through a short phase where I wanted to be Wonder Woman. I would walk around with my hands on my hips and pretend I could levitate to the tops of buildings and capture bad guys with lasers coming out of my fingers. I had a strange, very short-lived habit of staring at the sun; thinking it would provide me extra potent powers for taking down evil forces. It was only when I told my mother it didn’t seem to be working and she scolded me to stop doing that immediately, that I realized my super hero days might be numbered. I might not have been the brightest kid, but that sun surely was! My days of being a super hero were soon to be over and I had to eventually settle on squinting to read the blackboard. I finally had to admit to myself that the only real, not so super power to come from my sun gazing habit was near-sightedness.

When we are kids, we get to dream about being other worldly, extra special, incredibly glamorous and ridiculously powerful. In our minds we get to be “beyond human” and anything seems possible.

On Becoming – “Seeing Is Believing?”

I’ve always loved to sing. I know I drove my family crazy growing up. When I was in my 20’s, there was a period (of about two years) where I wanted to be a country music singer. I am a Georgia girl, after all. And, at the time, I thought I wanted it pretty badly.Continue reading “On Becoming – “Seeing Is Believing?””

On Becoming – “JUST GO FIND THE NUTS NOW!”

Ever wonder what life would be like if we were more like animals and totally lived in the moment without a care for tomorrow? Ever wonder what it would be like to spend our days just grazing in the grass or flying over the ocean looking for fish? Animals live completely in the moment. WhileContinue reading “On Becoming – “JUST GO FIND THE NUTS NOW!””

On Becoming – When It’s Not Working Anymore

We all go through times in life when things don’t seem to be working anymore. Maybe we outgrow our relationships, our job, or the people around us. Maybe we feel the pull to grow more, to push ourselves, to attempt to see things from a different perspective. Whatever it may be, when things stop workingContinue reading “On Becoming – When It’s Not Working Anymore”
