Picking it up again...

There are always a million different things going through my head.  Today it is that I am about three weeks shy of leaving this chapter of my life behind.  I met with my undergraduate mentor  from my anthropology degree yesterday.  It was a meeting that left me feeling restored and realigned.  I know that sounds odd.  I became so distracted by so many things popping up out of the sidelines in my life that I lost my way.  I lost touch with who I am.  After I spoke with her everything unnecessary fell away.  "You are an anthropologist," she told me, "it is in your heart." She struck a match in my brain, looked around and essentially said "what is this stuff?!" We agreed on so many things.  1.  I did not wasted my time with my Masters in communication.  2.  I now have a deeper and broader understanding of rhetoric.  3.  I am a loyal person.  4.  I am an observer who sees things most people do not.  5.  There are big things in my horizon.  6.  I have to realign myself.  We spoke of some very viable options and writing projects that would be a good use of time.
