When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Well hello! I’ve missed you all. I know; I disappeared. It was a temporary hiatus, but I always knew I was coming back. I started to read what I was writing and I found I was bored with myself. There was too much talking and not enough doing. So I’ve been doing. Clearing my mind, getting the business REALLY off the ground and reconnecting with friends and most importantly not giving up. I’ve learned from watching others with much heavier burdens than my own.
So many lesson in the last six months too.
Here in Boston the world came apart briefly in April and I watched as people rose to meet the horror and fought back with love for each other. It was pretty amazing.
I’ve watched two wonderful, inspirational people fight their own battles with cancer and they are kicking it’s ass every day.
I’ve watched from afar while another incredibly inspirational person reinvented herself and is now doing her best to spread joy in the world. Her latest feat is raising money for cancer research; the terrorist that took her husband.
She is kicking some ass there too. Excuse my French (why do people say that?).
So it seemed like a good time to resurface and pass on a little encouragement for my friend Jacque. Fight the good fight, my friend. She doesn’t believe in giving up.

I love that quote! The human spirit is amazing in its ability to overcome and fight for life!
I agree. It makes me wonder why I don’t appreciate how simple my life really is.
Welcome back to the circle friend…good to see you and even better to read your spirit in those inspiring words to those you care so much about and rightly cheer then on. We all could follow your lead of more doing. Talking’s good to get things started, but unless we step up and step out, we may as well sit down and shut up. Good for you Mo, keep moving forward…xoxo
Rhonda my friend! So good to see you too speaking of people that never give up! Hope life is treating you well. I’ve missed you.
I’ve learned one thing Mo…life treats me like I treat it. So, yes, am treating life better and still working my way up. I’ve missed you too…glad you’re back. 🙂
I even missed the new blog, but I’m catching up!
take your time sweetie…not going anywhere! 🙂
I am glad to see you back. I missed your blog posts and your thoughtful comments on mine. I made it to one year and 100 posts recently and I made reference to you as you were one of the first two people who commented on my blog. I will never forget how valued that made me feel. So thank you now for the support that you have shown me over my year here.
I am glad that you took some time out for some of the ‘doing’ that you felt was required in your life and that you are happy with how things have progressed. I wish you all the best for your forward plans.
Absolutely LOVE that quote and it means a lot to me at this time. Thanks for the inspiration.
Have a great week. 🙂
Clearly, I need to do some catching up! I’ve missed you even more than I thought!!
Thanks, and I have missed you too.
How have things gone with your new venture?
The business portion is finally taking off. Hopefully the nonprofit will follow. Just a year longer than anticipated but better late than never, right?
Hey! Good to read you. 🙂
Nice message 8)
Thank you!
