I walked into the lounge, saw the many new faces, loved the atmosphere, and the decor was
breathtakingly beautiful. Ladies in white, yellow and pink sat on the loungers, sipping their drink and then a door opens and a name is echoed and she stands to exit.
No, I am not in a nice bar, restaurant, nor a lovely home. I am in the new office building for Breast Cancer in our city. All the ladies have their heads down reading magazines, looking around at others, drinking lemonade and never speaking. Let me break the silence! "Hey, ladies isn't the silence about to drive you bonkers? Look at this lovely place we are in! We should be having a party, we are all dressed in like appareal, music is playing. We're good to go." Yeah you're right, it was too much energy for some of these ladies. One little lady turned to see where the voice was coming from and with her stern face looking right at me she returned to put her head down and back into the magazine. However, some were engaging in the conversation but that soon dwindled and they too were back to looking into the magazine. What is it about time and space that we cannot connect? Why must we keep our heads down? Why do we shut down this fun and exciting energy? Why do we refuse to smile? We are in a room about to be scanned for breast cancer and instead of being hopeful we are a bunch of gloomy ladies. Wait, my bad. Some of us are. There were a few who actually ran with the "party" concept. We have the key to open up life, laughter, love, happiness and enjoyment. It is inside of all of us. Be willing to step outside your comfort zone. Be willing to dare. I unashamedly will speak and I love my life!
