Re-write
Life is so fleeting, and going through it without a goal was the way I lived. Then I died. Had a near death experience. It gave me pause, and made me somewhat unsettled straddling two worlds. I became a seeker, never finding the exact thing I was seeking, not finding complete answers.
But eleven years later when it happened again, it was the kick I needed to stop seeking and just live life with intent, focus on what I want and go after it.
I thought, I want to buy a house, and I did.
I want to have a baby, even though they said it was impossible, and I did.
I want to go to the Grand Canyon, travel the country from one end to the other, and I did.
I want to move to Santa Cruz, California, and I did.
I want to go back to college and take every class I can. I did that for 17 years.
I want to go be with that Light again. Not a good idea! It sent me back, and made me work harder without the guidance I had previously felt accompany me through life.
I want to learn how to keep faith and wait for that one thing I didn't find. A purpose. Took me a long time to find it.
The one thing I was wanting for so long, the one thing that didn't seem possible came true through the internet. I found others with the very same rare cancer I lived with for so many years. Now I help others get through those tough times. Ah! Peace! I've finally met my purpose in life.
There is nothing more I want.
