Resolution of sorts

It’s never too late to be who you might have been.  

I bought a pencil case with this quote by George Eliot on it years ago. It sits on my desk at the office and has become “wallpaper”. Every now and then I look down at it and really see it.

I’m always inspired by the message, but never consciously take action on its meaning. But now it’s a resolution of sorts.

It’s never too late to apologize. Or forgive. It’s never too late to say thank you. To train for the half marathon. To volunteer. It’s never too late to be the person you’ve always wanted to be.

I want to be a light, growing in brightness, through which others can know the healing power of God.

This wasn’t who I always wanted to be. I wanted to be Susan Dey’s character on LA Law, or Angela Bower in Who’s the Boss. I wanted a full book of meetings and appointments. I wanted to wear business suits and carry a portfolio. I wanted to be in charge. And blonde.

How did I fail to realize it when I had all of these things? Granted, I was never a lawyer or owned my own ad agency, but I had all the things that made these women my role models. Maybe because it wasn’t who I was really meant to be.

In the New Year, here’s to the coming together of who you’ve always wanted to be and who you are meant to be. 

Finally, a very special THANK YOU to the supporters of Team Kim! I continue to be amazed at the family, friends and folks I don't know who are training, raising money, donating money, and coming from great distances to be a part of the cause.
