I admit, I can be impulsive. The idea to create this “pearl” blog came quickly and I jumped in with both feet. Also, I am FIFTY. Technology does not come naturally and I struggle to put this blog together. But with ignorance comes opportunity, and I did not have time to be afraid.
Until two days later…..fear launched an attack! When I told my youngest son I started a blog, his response was “EW!” Typical teenager. I laughed at first, and then it made me feel vulnerable. My words and ideas will be judged. Whoa.
But do you see that clever photo above? That lovely box of pearls? I downloaded it ALL BY MYSELF! I am learning a new skill. I am sharing a part of myself. I want to learn more. And being fifty? I wear that like armor to battle fear. It protects my heart from being hurt by judgement. I am too wise by now to care about what everybody thinks.
Put on your armor.

You know your on the right track Micki when your armor is a string of beautiful mother of the sea pearls that you’ve been producing everyday on your way to 50. You’ve known the way for a very long time. Ever since you were born you knew the feeling of being in the stream of life. Mom and Dad showed us that through love and teaching us about the life of Jesus. Gandhi and MLK, Washington and Adams, believed in the same pursuit of freedom and happiness as everyone’s birthright. Just like we do now. That is our purpose, our responsibility. Our relationship to each other and other living things, especially all other living things, is the making of the pearl or the destruction of it.
Ew! Is the sand that causes the pearl to produce the pearl. We can show em!! Little does he, or we for that matter, know what we’re capable of doing until we embrace it! I love your blog! Its a new experience every single time and there’s no reason we have to fear, we are never alone! Believe in that one! May the force be with you! Thanks for starting the blog. You’re doing great. I’m really surprised to see just how good you are at this! 😄
Thanks, JoJo. Not quite sure if I am the real Pear Chaser in the family! HAHA! I can’t wait to write more about my family!
