How does one woman come to the last half of her life to realize for the first time how fortunate her life has truly been? Denial ? Crisis management? or trying to hit that damn mole with the ridiculous rubber hammer that keeps popping up unpredictably from multiple holes! Life distracts us from the details and from the main idea. Life is about relationships! How you treat yourself and others determines how big or little of a jackpot payoff you get later.

Yesterday at poolside, snapping photos and videos of my family I heard a direct message whispered in my mind. "Look, Shara, all of these grandchildren, teens, sons, daughters are your DNA...they come directly from you and your actions from the Past". I almost walked over the pool edge as I was filming at the time.Such an epiphany: a sudden intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurence or experience to realized that one's life can make such a difference in the world. Now the summer of change is complete.

My journey wasn't to find adventure somewhere or with someone but to find peace and happiness with my past. I was struggling with growing older in a world community that abhors age, unsmooth skin, less than perfect bodies while still possessing the same creative spirit and mind I've honed with experience. My body is following the natural process of the life cycle. It is a predicament!

So I rebel against the establishment like a good old little hippie should. I refuse to dress, act, look or be the standard grandma of the sit-Com's. Under all the emotions of fighting change, I lost the grand prize...my life's work...my family! At the poolside, it was revealed to me that my life has indeed been A Good Thing (sorry Martha)!

Back to the word abundance!

1. 
   
   extremely plentiful with many many beautiful memories


2. 
   
   my heart has experienced many moments of overflowing fullness


3. 
   
   I am a very wealthy women, affluence with the love of my family

Now is it enough to make this realization and coast? I believe the DNA message was only the beginning. To truly go forward you have to settle the past or you will constantly be peeking over your shoulder. With these release, I am ready to move onward to the next chapters of my life with such excitement and passion.

What's ahead for the Queen? Is it travel? most definitely. Will Duncan be apart of the future? I hope he will. Will I find my art again? Yes, this I know is going to be.

And of course...there's more DNA out there to be created with four children not yet procreating at this time. I'm gonna have to get a much bigger pool!
