I am sitting here on the eve before the first day of my new job, still pretty numb. To be here, in this place, at this particular time, in this situation is the culmination of a very long and painful journey, but it's also the first step into an amazing new story for not just me, but also for my little girl.
Still hasn't hit me yet that this is truly my life, that I have the privilege and honor of being this baby girl's momma, that I have the privilege of being a Chief Development Officer in one of the most admired companies in the world, that I have the amazing opportunity to be doing all that back home in Texas.
Wow. Very surreal. I still break out in a grin at all the things I'm seeing, finding, living every day that I never thought I'd get the chance to live with again. Man I love this state!
Today I was wandering in a little local store and saw an iteration on one of my favorite quotes:
"Life is not about getting out of the storms. It's about learning to dance in the rain." (Vivian Greene)
Thus the moniker "Rain Girl" for my blog. It's been a wonderful journey, learning to dance in the rain of the past. And as I examine those storms and see what growth, strength, wisdom and grace they've brought me, I look into the face of the future and gratefully, joyfully anticipate more rain (and sunshine) in which to dance, in which to celebrate who I am and who I am becoming.
"I'm thirsty anyway, so bring on the rain!"
