I just got finished mopping the hardwood floor, the back and forth swaying motion reminded me of the gentle waves hitting the powder sugar sand in Cayman, sitting under a tree with one foot in the sand noticing the soft sensation. Now the bird's songs are harmonizing with the click of the keys, a piece of nature brought to the ears. These are snap shots of what it means to be in the present and embracing what it has to offer.

This hasn't always been the case, I wanted nothing more than to be outta Poulsbo asap,to live the the city life in Seattle, but then my life forever changed with the prayer... please help me to grow. I sould have known better than to ask so directly, but alas here I am still in Poulsbo as a changed person. I no longer strive to be what I am not, rather to be what I am and in so doing the doors of opportunitiy have been thrown open.

I can no longer sit and standby while society is so enveloped in negativity, I have witnessed the human spirit transcend difficulties in many different situations. I know that we as individuals can make a difference, not through great acts, but by simply being and embracing this time we have to live.

I have found that a community is not just a geographic location, it is a feeling of the heart I have drawn from my hospice experiences the startling reality that every day I leave something behind whether it be a smile or an unkind word... there is only possibilities when people come together and find, because of differences there can be unity. As each individual come and use their talents we can help each other and develop a true sense of community

This is why I want to start a non-profit to afford individuals to use their unique talents, by not creating another organization, but by utilizing service organizations that are all ready in place and their unique purposes to provide opportunities to serve thereby increasing sense of ownership in our community. To act and not be acted upon.
