Hey, if you're gonna steal, steal from the best, right? (The best being Stanley Kubrick.)
This year was intense. Change... doesn't even describe what I experienced in 2012. A move from one side of the country to the other. From married to separated to almost-divorced (NYS gets to decide when that will be official). I started a new job with an old employer. I wrote a screenplay and a novel (still revising both). I saw the desert for the first time and watched the sun set over the Pacific Ocean for the first time. I acquired the Exxtreme Camry for those pesky L.A. freeways.
I met an inspiring, amazing, loving community of Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, learned how to lean on God rather than on my own limited power and vision, and above all, I discovered that I am truly loved. I went from asking 'who am I, what am I doing, where am I going' to knowing in the deepest part of my soul and heart that "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." (Gal. 2:20)
And the odyssey continues...
