That Moment in Time When I Realized Instead of Wanting to Be or Working on Becoming
It’s time to just be.
On 12.21.2014 I was here in New Mexico, riding Single Speed, and I put a Strava entry in as “Working on Becoming the SS Bad Ass I used to be”.
I have since realized; that there is no becoming, or wanting to become, or wishing…
There is only Being.
So I signed up for the 24 Hours of Enchanted Forest, SS Solo Female.
I know, 24 hours really isn’t my thing. I’m more of the 6 to 12 hour girl. I like to sleep. I like a solid 8 to 10 hours a night. It’s how I rejuvenate myself.
The plan right now is to ride daylight hours. The goal is to ride 100-120 miles. It’s a Leadville Prep Race. It’s a celebratory race to welcome my new life. It’s going to be hard, it’s going to be joyous. I have Grady Pace of LED lights on my side, he’s going to help me with lights, and keeping track of other SS girls laps, in the event that it’s close, and I need to ride some night laps. Otherwise, it’s just my ride, my race: me, myself, and I; embracing the thoughts and the meditation that comes for me while I am on the Mountain Bike for long periods of time in Nature. Giving Thanks for all the Great Gifts that we are each blessed with each day.
On 6.4.2015 I made the transition back to New Mexico permanently. A transition that has been unraveling for years now. My life since November has been an interesting haul. I have managed to stay optimistic, relaxed and focused. There comes a time, sometimes in our lives, that we just need to move forward, and embrace change.
I feel different, I feel empowered, I feel like I’m 100% going the direction I want to be going. There’s nothing in my life that is holding me back, or challenging me in ways, that are not healthy to be challenged.
I haven’t once been scared, I have spent too much of the last decade in fear. I embrace the Adventure of Life, the Flow of the Universe, and the Magic of New Beginnings.
Thanks for reading, and checking in with me, and being part of My Life’s Experience.
It means the world to me.
One Love,
One Gear,
Let’s get together and it will be alright.
