My 55th Birthday Paddling Hard

My 55th Birthday, June 15, 2014!

I went paddle boarding today.

Paddling back, I was facing 17 km/h wind. It reminded me of difficult times in life when I had to “paddle” very hard.

June 15 is also the day when my relationship with my partner of 18 years, father of my beautiful daughters, dissolved.

After that, there were several years of “paddling” very hard against the wind.

I am so grateful for keeping the gate in my heart open for love.

My friends: keep your hearts filled with love. It will get you through the rough waters and bring you to the shore filled with love and happiness.
