It's Never Too Late To Teach an Old Dog New Tricks

These were the words that adorned the corners of my Junior High School at Governor Mifflin. They were a present from my parents graduating class,to the school district way back in the day.


Those 7 words intrigued me from the moment I could read. I passed by that building often, as it was on the main street of my town, Shillington PA.
Today, as a 50 year old woman, I am finally UNDERSTANDING the words and meaning held within them.

I have been off from work for the past 6 months and will be returning to the cubicle I call home from 7:00a.m. - 4:00p.m. on Monday, July 13th. During these past 6 months, I have been re-evaluating, re-vamping and re-storing my inner strength as well as my outer self. In reality, I have been heading in a new direction for the past year, but just amped it up these last 6 months.

I have embraced Reiki and Qigong with their benefits urging me on. Never have I felt so at peace and full of love as I do now. With each new day, I become more connected with the universe and feel the abundance of energy and compassion towards all.
I have met some amazing people through Twitter, Reiki and through happenstance. I am so thankful for all the connections I have made, for they have ALL helped me in my growth as a person.

I especially want to acknowledge my husband, Frank Dickinson. A woman could not ask for a better partner, husband, friend, cheerleader, companion or teacher than Frank. His unwavering support of me, no matter what the endeavor is an inspiration. For almost 14 years, he and I have been on this path together, growing in mind, body, spirit and unconditional love.

Thank you Frank, for who you are and who I am because of you.

On Monday, July 13th, I will be returning to my position at a company that I firmly believe in. They will be receiving a better version of RuthAnn. My wish is to make the universe proud of my growth thus far.
