So tonight I received my first email from my blog site; having someone reach out to me was...... thrilling. Hearing his story and encouraging my vision really inspires me. It is a great cycle of hope, faith, and trust........ which has been built over time.

Jordan used to joke many years ago, as I was a working homemaker, that I was in retirement then. I knew there was something to his words...... as if they had a future fulfillment. In the time following, I am pushing myself harder than ever, with purposes and goals higher than ever.

I am proofreading the preview copy of my book in my "spare time", but thankfully it's easy reading and going fast. This initial installment is more of a meditation style, with easy to read chapters, and understandable thoughts. I have ideas flowing for the next, Lord willing......I just need time.

My real estate marketing skills and knowledge are soaring, as Christina and I plow ahead. We are meeting this week to set goals for 2016, as she has exceeded her expectations for this year already:) She is pushing me to expound on mine, which makes me ask some good questions......‪#‎hope‬

I know what I feel we have set our feet upon, in returning to the soil of the east. Timing. Opportunity. Ideas. Knowing when they all collide is often an uphill climb many are unsure how to traverse. We become weak, get offended, and stuck. But I am determined to pioneer a new path...........

Even though I let my heart soften a bit, my emotions be explored again, I still find it important to hold my ground. Fighting to regain "territory" lost has been an ongoing war I have chosen to wage. The meaning of territory can speak of anything - emotion, essence, riches, or restoration, that is mine to possess.

A life may have been violently taken from me, and God knows, I have almost lost mine in times past. However, the fight to come back, recover, and restore is always worth the effort. ‪#‎possessthegatesoftheenemy‬
