STORMY WEATHER

STORMY WEATHER.

I sit here on the last day of February 2014. We are under STORM WATCH here in LA.

It is always so funny to me how the weather is reported here.

It has been raining for the past 24 hours on and off.

I  LOVE THE RAIN. I always have. As a child I would love to sit on my front porch to enjoy a good rain storm. Over the past two years I have had the good fortune to live two houses off the ocean.
I love a storm at the ocean.......Got to experience and live through both HURRICANE IRENE & SANDY.

I have weathered my fair share of storms. Both PERSONALLY AND WEATHER WISE.

Some storms have been more intense than others. I am sure in my life there will be more STORMS to be had.

I am learning to just enjoy the journey.......That includes the storms, Without them there is no growth.

We need to EMBRACE whatever we may be going through in life. WHY? Because we are exactly we we are suppose to be at any given moment.

MOTHER NATURE IS AMAZING.
IT IS FASCINATING TO WATCH MOTHER NATURE AT WORK.

Last night and most of the day today I have had the pleasure of working from home and using the rain as the SOUND TRACK for my day.

The sound of rain is very SOOTHING to me.

To me listening and being caught in the rain and feeling it on my body is a form of cleansing.
It has the power to wash away all of the ugliness and dirt of the world. After the rain everything seems a little BRIGHTER.

Los Angeles fr example has been in the middle of a long dry spell and experiencing a draught.

Without the rain this city and our lives build up TOXINS that can stop us dead in our tracks and can actually kill us physically, emotionally, spiritually and figuratively.

Without the rain we become malnourished. The RAIN BRINGS US THE NOURISHMENT WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO GROW IN TO THE BEST WE CAN BE.

Many of us walk through life MALNOURISHED and severely DEHYDRATED.

We need to learn to dance in the rain and understand that hardships are a part of what makes us into the wonderful human beings that we are, as we move along the HIGHWAY OF LIFE ON OUR JOURNEY.

Wishing everyone a journey full of growth and love.

REMEMBER THERE IS ALWAYS BEAUTY AFTER A STORM.
