So this evening, I was robbed. I returned late to my apartment after training at the gym to discover someone broke into my apartment. My laptop, cellphone from the USA, and all of my US Dollars that I had to use when I returned home to visit my mom for Christmas were gone. That cell phone that was stolen had the last message saved from my father..... For a moment I was numb....then angry....then scared that someone entered my apartment with the intent to violate my privacy..... And then I sat here and thought about what to do next....call the police? Why? Get angry? Why? So instead, I just sat quietly and listened to the ocean and waited for Life to tell me what (and IF I should do anything).....and I heard my Dad saying No pasa nada....estás bien - adelante mi hija. And I remembered why I am here. Spain is a country in crisis- I always knew that coming here....they hide it well, but it is no where economically where it was when I came here in 1992. I nevertheless made a conscious decision to come here from New York City....purposefully to a country that has much less economically....but lives much more, and I have witnessed so much heart. That Is Priceless. With that thought, I let go....of the laptop....of the cellphone...of the fear....of th e uncertainty....because I will always believe that something extraordinary is possible. I like to believe that the person who needed to resort to stealing from me needs to feed her family this holiday, so that they are warm, and cared for....or at least comfortable. I am not rich by any means to give to others when I myself still need to find my own way economically here...but I am not at the point of stealing from others....nor will I judge those who did from me. It is what it is - Life is not easy for anyone....Ever. That is why I try to never judge. Happy Holidays friends. May you all have peace, family, friends, dreams, love, and hope....
