Time to catch up with life

You know it's been a long time since I've sat down to write in this blog..I keep saying that I am going to make sure I blog at least once a week, and then "life" gets in the way and I always seem to forget. I think for a long time I have forgotten the power behind the words in this blog and the impact that it has on the people that it reaches. I have forgotten that sometimes life gets in the way and the most important things get left behind.


The last few months have been both up and down for me. Life has thrown quite a few "curve balls" my direction and I have been going through some changes within myself. Now I know it says in the bible that God won't take you to something that he can't get you through, but have you ever had that feeling or said to yourself "if something doesn't give soon I'm going to lose my mind?"


I can tell you from personal experience, lately I have felt that very same feeling. It's in those times that I am reminded that I must have faith and Patience. Just because the answer isn't always directly in front of my face doesn't mean it's not there. Sometimes you have to remember to be still and silent before you are ever going to find the answers to questions you may have.


So here is an update on me these days....I am still in good ol' Tucson,Arizona lol...It's slowly getting colder here which is nice but I'm dreading the winter. I hate being cold!! I am still working at the Detox facility, although there are many changes happening within the company and much of the future is uncertain at this point. All I can do is have hope everything will work out for the best.


I am still working with the Tucson Pride Board, October 8~9 we had our "pride weekend" events and they went off as perfectly as we could have hope. 365 days of hard work and planning went into watching several thousand people enter the park and enjoy a day to simply be free. On the security side we had a few issues here and there but nothing we couldn't handle. I am proud to say as a 11 man team the Tucson Pride Board pulled off an event for the record books =)..


I recently joined the Angels for Animals of Tucson rescue group and have been doing a good amount of work with them. I have an upcoming event that is still being planned to raise money for this group I am so passionate about. These people have been working hard since December of 2009 and in the last 10 months this group has saved over 100 dogs from neglect, abuse and even death. They truly are angels for these animals.


So as you can see life has been pretty crazy lately. That would be a good reason why I haven't had much time to write, but I won't use it as an excuse. I have found that writing is a good escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and if I can use my experiences to encourage the life of someone else then my blog and has served it's purpose and my day is complete. So please bare with me, give me some time to catch up and I promise you this blog will be back up and running the way it used to. I have so many stories to tell...

Until next time....love and peace
