Tahoe snowshoeing...and a crossroads for me.

Hello to you, its been too long. I am writing as the 2009 holiday season ends, and the new year peeks around the corner. I have to admit, I'm thrilled that Christmas has come and gone. Not because it wasn't a great holiday, but because I'm MOST excited about the new year. I stand at a crossroads in my life. God has given me a chance to step up, challenge myself and trust enough in the process to let life take me in a new direction with zest! Why? I was laid off as the Marketing Director at Fortune Management, the company I've been with for most of my professional path.

Today, my mom and I went snowshoeing for the very first time. We caught one of the most beautiful winter days in Lake Tahoe - crystal blue sky, laced with white puffy clouds, a mild 35 degrees, topped off by 4 new inches of snow! We hiked to the top where our reward was a most gorgeous panoramic view of the lake. Well worth the black diamond trek up! On our journey to the top, we soaked up the snow covered trees, quiet serenity, and peace surrounding us. Wow! We stopped at this creek. It looked like a natural wishing well; a place to reflect on life and who I am. My mom and I took photos to capture the moment but also to pray. To ask for strength to let life flow and to let go of the control we tend to seek. And with that moment, came peace for me. I got it. I know in my heart that I'm exactly where I need to be. And more ready than ever to move forward to brighter and more passionate places that I ever thought possible before...and it's in the beauty of nature and snowshoeing that I found my light to move forward. Yay!
