I used to think myself mad, the only one lost in these oscillating spirals of the mind. As time has passed I have come to realize that I am not alone and that most of us experience these cycles. The challenge is deciding what to do with them. Do we allow them to drag us down or to drive or true potential.

But it is not easy to see what is truth or the dilusion of the mind. It is in moments of extreme despair that the most challenging choices are made. We are forced to decide what truly matters and move toward taking action in the pursuit of the heart.

This may involve letting those you care about down and being questioned for all that you believe in. But hold fast to that hope to know that you are doing the right thing. If today is your last how would you live differently?

Gotta love Christmas Parties!

My gorgeous sister and wonderful brother-in-law at the Hopkins Christmas party.

One too many cocktails for this girl.
