Digging.

Another week has passed in Southern California and I find myself with familiar feelings on a Friday. Perhaps my goals are lofty or hopes are high since facing death's door as a family. I would rather find something fulfilling in life than spend it in futility. Fun times are great, of course; but they are not enough. That is what I call living in “lack”…

Love.

I had a dream back in June revealing a missing piece of my life here in L.A. County..... and that piece is "love." There are clues throughout the dream that speak to this acceleration of time I feel, as the spiritual and natural parallel........... and I wonder where my love life will go.

I was accustomed to the companionship of a partner, even if he was working long hours or barely seemed to listen to me. His presence was always felt. He was there to handle things I couldn't and to bear the heavy burdens alongside of me. Most days, I still feel that loss.

Now, I'm figuring out what I want in my life and most importantly, who will be with me moving forward. As I "work out" my faith and what is at my core this summer, I'm pushing for a deeper strength, stamina, and mental game needed to proceed and succeed. I'm getting my mind aligned and finally taking control of this area of my life...........

Andrew is back on the East Coast and I assume in his own bed tonight:) We will miss him. Logan's begun to look at colleges on the east and west coast, submitting recruiting info to coaches. A club teammate is providing film from Houston since I videotaped my leg rather than the best game of his life as a libero, lol:)

His Redondo HS Beach Team is working out twice a week now in preparation for the upcoming HS season on the beach! Andrew was able to participate in playing with many in Hermosa:) The training and conditioning schedule Logan is on is a good one and he's determined to follow through.

Chynna may have up to 3 coaching positions coming up shortly here in the South Bay and is playing on two indoor club teams. She too has persevered and is connecting with many people, planning and playing in the sand whenever she can. She sets her sights high............

Austin is in limbo until college begins in a few weeks; things are finally coming together, I think. He hopes to volunteer at the Manhattan Beach Open next week which draws AVP and players from all over:) He'd like a second job but they are hard to come by here and summer is winding down:/

Hoping a bit of real love comes to the L.A. area because what I have seen so far is very fickle..............
