It was "the voice" again, and from the sound of it, I was in a bit of trouble with God.
"I will not continue to bless the work of your hands as you continue to live your unbalanced life. Your promise to make the small changes on a daily basis and promote a life of balance has not been honored.

The Steel Horse Sisterhood Summit took place in Denver, Colorado in conjunction with International Female Ride Day, the week-end of May 2-4.

I had made a promise to begin the journey back to health.
Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Mechanical health were my promises.

And Life has it's seasons not unlike nature.

It is the road itself that threw me off balance. And it will be the road herself, and all that nature provides to me, that ministers the healing balm.

It is the peace, the quiet, the calm, that opens each wound to the miracle of God's healing.

And behind it comes the joy. The joy of surrender.

It is nature and God and only them that is big enough to hold onto my moment of greatest joy, and pain from that emotional place, that well where I have buried every success, every hurt, every sorrow, and every wound that has been left untended to fester.

It is the way I roll.

The Journey To Balance

I am here this morning.

As I close my eyes, and sink down into the moment, I am at peace. It is the peace that I feel when I do not allow any other outside force to enter in. And I protect this peace with my entire being, just for a time.

It is the calm before the storm.

Yesterday George, Jim and I spent the afternoon at the Embassy Suites in Loveland for the entire afternoon, negotiating the contract for the 2015 Steel Horse Sisterhood Summit.

The time was 5:10 and George was really working on me to ride up to Carter Lake to enjoy the late afternoon before he headed back to Bailey, CO.

But I had to say no. My reasoning was, "I have way too much to do. I am leaving on a journey at the end of the week and I have too many unanswered e-mails, unanswered messages in my inbox and too many calls to return.

How am I to reutrn to my place of peace and balance if I am unwilling to reverse the decisions I have made that placed me in this state of unbalance?

When I returned home, which took my almost an hour to manuever through the rush hour traffic, my brain was spent from the long afternoon, and I literally did nothing of any value to me the rest of the evening.

I enjoyed two phone calls from close friends but my feeble attempt at getting any work done was highly ineffective.

So I ask myself, did I recieve the lesson for June 19th, 2014.

Did I get the following message? To enjoy my journey and to add balance my days.

If my goal is to return to a place of balance, that place will not just be handed to me because I make the request. It is a decision that requires action.

On Memorial Day of 2014 I will be pulling out on a new journey. Physically, emotionally, spirtually and geographically.

I will be reporting daily.

Won't you join me?
