I started two different blogs last night when I hit a roadblock putting content in my website. I erased both, but I find I need to acknowledge what has been going on before I can move forward.
I live in central Mexico, in a small community on a lake in what til now has been an idyllic setting. Some of you may have seen news stories about the 18 mutilated bodies found near a "popular tourist spot". Well those bodies represent the sons and daughters of the beautiful peoples who have been so generous as to allow me to live in their town. They have been in agony for days waiting to find out where their missing relatives were....and there are as many more as were found, who are still missing. I now live in a town where there is great sadness and not a little fear. The drug cartels say that the next group of people abducted and brutally murdered will be women....so for the foreseeable future I will be at home at night...as will most of the town, in a culture where because of the daytime heat...the night is when they are usually out socializing, spending time with their families. It is a ghost town at night now.
Last night while being restless and wandering through WA I dropped into the live chat and Kyle was asking members who were there what they'd most like to see on WA....I truly didn't understand most of the responses, being new...but I wanted to say then and will say now....Kyle, I want you to dream BIG...dream of a time when you can offer WA here in Mexico in Spanish to the kids who live in this third world country who need options to take their lives in directions they haven't even dreamed of for themselves yet. DREAM BIG please.
I am beginning to understand why I am here too. We all have "stories" and we all have hopes, for a better life, for a way of taking control of our own destinies. Of being able to live our lives without interference or fear from within or without. I can see that path here....I hope to be a part of that path for others too - just give me some time to catch up to you.
