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?

I purchased my first Harley-Davidson in 1986. She was a Candy Apple Red Softtail Custom and I loved her with the same passion as my sweet Street Glide. But it was a much different women who rode those highways of America in those lazy days of the 80's.
Follow me as I continue my journey traveling across America, visiting every licensed Harley-Davidson dealership in the lower 48 and my intent....is to stop in, pull up a chair, and share a word or two over a cup of brew.
Riding American Proud!
