Ordinary People


I've been meeting some truly uplifting and inspirationsl woman, and yes, men as well; along my path in life and journey with cancer. From the east coast to the west and from the north to the south.
I, by no means have attached any differential status in the que of life. I am just an ordinary gal with a a "touch" of cancer and a new found gypsy life! So, I wonder, like many of you do, where does this ordinary gal fit into it all? Where do you and I fit into the grande scheme of it all?
As human beings, we are naturally "social" creatures. By nature, we have a need for social contact and interaction with others. Tribes, families, friends, and even quaint encounters which effect and compromise our existance in totality.
We are all hoping for a satisfactory level of enlightenment by and through our network. We idolize the Hollywood "stars"; people with whom we have never even met, let alone shared any type of dialogue. Their hype and rave formulates, revolves, and perculates in our minds; in turn, making us want a glimpse of it all. In turn, making us seek such attainment.
The Power of: YOU must permeate from within. You must first learn to rely on no one but yourself. You must find your happiness from within your inner desires. The voice of an ordinary gypsy gal is merely a significant "cheer" to aide you- and your village of family of friends is your support and guide.
You must use your resources well, for they are and will be your "hype" in life. As Madonna's lyrics state: "Get up on your feet" ~ and make a stance! Know that YOU can make a difference from coast to coast; "sea to shinning sea".
Believe in yourself and The Power of: YOU!
Know that you are a precious gemstone ~ unfauceted, awaiting to become a bright shinning jewel!
