That was my perception of myself for years. The fact that I am short has not changed, as time passes and my mortal body reaches the point that it has served its purpose in this realm, I get shorter, and it is just a fact.

Simple, well that is a perception not a fact. A false perception I held onto very tightly for years. Because those who contributed to its creation, those individuals that planted the seeds are people, I used to look up to. They are people that were put on this earth to guide me, to show a 2-3-4 maybe 5 year old the endless possibilities that this realm holds. I try hard to not stand in judgment of them; I cannot say that I always succeed. I put myself in their shoes, I look at the way I relate to children, I quickly become aware of my words and actions, I see how easily one can plant the wrong seed.

I am a woman of extremes. I decided I was not going to be simple. I made a bold statement, I said, “I am NOT simple”, but I did not say what it IS that I was. One could say that Cause and Effect would dictate that the opposite of simple is complicated. I once read that, “I am” are the two most powerful words in the Universe. Not knowing the power my words had, when I said “I am not simple”, the Law was put in motion to make me the opposite of simple. So… I became overly complicated. Uni always has my back; It always gives me what I ask for. So, I better get to buttoning up that statement. “I am NOT simple, I am…” hum, I have to give that some thought.

For now, I am… off to a Padres game! I am mindful of all the children around me. I know their little eyes will look up at me and their great big open minds are fertile and will sprout any seed I plant. I had better watch my p’s and q’s as they say, or better yet, I had better watch my “I Am”.
Short and simple… Be mindful of your “I AM”. Be mindful of the seeds you plant today.
