....and the story continues: a dedication for my sister

Today begins a new chapter. It's a book of life. A story of love. I have many loves and soulmates. One in particular is a lovely little golden haired beauty. She has been in my life the longest of my soulmates. The thing is, the day she was born something inside my subconscious little 3 year old spirit just knew! She was tiny and soft and a mystery...and loud, very loud! :) But never the less, she was mine all MINE! (I would share her from time to time with mom and dad)

We grew and we evolved. Sometimes together, other times apart. But each and every endeavor was met with a faithful heart and a fierce strength that we both had always nurtured in one another. A yin and yang. A give and take. A harmony. A symmetry. A balance. Ever changing, always creating new paths while never falling too far outside of our unexplainable yet undeniable pull, like gravity. 

And here we are, finding ourselves on opposite ends of 930 miles (to be exact). Life has put time and space between us. Something we have faced before but this round, there's a difference. There is an unwavering steady binding us. Maybe it's age or maturity. Maybe repetitiveness has taught our hearts something. Or maybe we have reached our journeys crossing, where lessons once learned and future possibilities intersect. When we can see clearer. We can love deeper. We can live fuller! Truer. 

We can fulfill our self destiny and passions because doing so is a direct link to what the other has seeded and watered and flowered in our soul. 

She is my rock in the scariest of currents. She is a strong & purposeful (yet tiny) raft in the roughest of waters. She is my beacon in the very darkest of hours. And I, as small as I have felt at times, am raised up by her wisdom and strength. Her only true fault is that she can not always do this for herself. 

That is where I come in!
