Reflecting
Sitting here remembering that cold day in March of 1998, the snow was on the ground, my daughters seniors at Western Michigan University, I left the Michigan Department of Corrections, after 19 years of service. I had no idea what I was going to do with my life or where I was going (one thing I knew was that I was going to help my sister care for our grandfather, who had suffered a major stroke). All I know is that I felt a quantum shift that had been traveling within me and I knew within the depth of my Spirit that it was time to move on. I remember my friend in Human Resources saying "why not take a waive rights leave of absence", so in case I needed to, I could come back with the State. Without hesitation, I said to her, "if I did, that would be a lack of faith".

As you take a moment to reflect on your journey, recognize the Treasure within you; realize you are where are are suppose to be. What you've eliminated, endured, embraced is the alchemy of your life, the recipe that inspired and motivated you to this space...this place that you've earned, and your Beautiful journey continues..
As you, I've learned so much about the Self of me, and smile as I look at my reflection in the mirror. I've earned my time in this space...this place. Since then, the road has been one I would not change in a million years, for a million dollars & the journey continues...
