Onward and Upward!

Shortly after midnight this morning (EST) the 3 recipients of the SOAR! scholarship were revealed. I was not among them.

There are some of you who might not agree with the phrase "It was meant to be" -and I'm not sure that in all circumstances that phrase is applicable - but here I think it is in both the spiritual and practical sense of things for me. I am absolutely certain that the timing of the application process was serendipitous for me. It literally forced me to clarify what I want at this point in my life and "claim" that by putting MY voice to it. Incredibly powerful and meaningful for me.

On top of that, I asked friends and family to view my video application and lend me their support. The comments that people left on the site and in messages to me meant more to me than I can adequately express with words here - and with them came the realization long before the announcement that I had already WON!

So...onward and upward. Other people's gains do not indicate a lack for us. Please come back and check the blog out - become a follower - leave comments. More posts and photos to come!!!

Here are some recent shots of my girl - I was playing with strong window sunlight...
