{an entry from my night journal.  Correct! I CAN NOT SLEEP.  lol.}

Such funny things, words.  Without even trying they have the power to crush and to heal, to hinder or to inspire.  In a lifetime the simplest of words can knock one completely off kilter.  The power to change an entire life’s path.  For better or for worse.   Unintentional catharsis.

Sometimes, when you least expect it someone’s words can reach right into you.  Taking hold unto your soul and finding a connection there you never would have expected.  The impact of those kinds of words… is magical.

Have you ever stumbled upon words you felt were left there just for you?  A secret message, in the most illogical of places, just waiting for your eyes to spy them?

I have.  Today it was these.

It’s important that we seek inspiration but then take action on our ideas. – Sachin Khona

My eyes fluttered over them.  For a moment I stopped reading.  Without the subtlest hint of warning, my breath had left me.  And then I read it again and a tear found its way onto my keyboard.

How could someone I have never met know exactly what I needed to hear?  These words aren’t anything spectacular.   But somehow they managed to reach into me.  Without even knowing it or trying, I had stumbled upon my own secret message from the universe.  There it was, tucked quietly away on an aspiring photographer’s blog.

I hope Sachin knows his blog is appreciated.  I wish that someday I would meet him face to face, so I could tell him THANK YOU.  I would love to tell him that.  “Thank you for sharing your journey into your new life with us.  And thank you for inspiring mine.”  Of course, knowing me and all my dorkdom, it would probably come out more like “OMG!  I got IT!  Secret message received!”
