When my children were little we were in a car accident. I happened around four o’clock in the afternoon on RT. 93 leaving Boston. There was bumper to bumper traffic but moving at I thought a good 60 -65 MPH (a speed you’d never find now on that road at that hour). Out of the blue one of those huge tractor trailer trucks veered from the right lane left across all the other lanes, blocking traffic as it crossed.

I ended up somehow in the far left lane, facing the other direction when it all came to a halt. My car was totaled but the children were safe. Amazingly.

I believe Ariella was the first to react. She started crying. Samsun was a baby and just needed holding. But then after a moment, Nika became completely upset; so upset that when the ambulance arrived they paid attention to only her:”Why aren’t we still driving?” she asked over and over again. The shock of the sudden interruption was too much for her five year old self to comprehend. Meantime, Hunter slept. She slept through whatever bumped us. She slepr through being lifted in her car seat into the police car that escorted us to a local limo dealer who was given his instructions to drive us to NH.

Each child had their own reaction.

Just short of three years later, I was called to testify about the accident – one of the car drivers had sued. The inquisitors wanted to know: how many cars?, how far apart?, going how fast… etc. From what I gathered, after all was said and done, there were nine different reports of what happened. Nine people had their own story.

Just last night I was talking to my sister Louisa and she was talking astrologically about the unusual number of planets in Aries right now.
Aries: new beginnings, new ideas, new directions/perspectives. All at once.

And I thought how this feels like it’s happening in every area of my life right now:

Business:

Me: “I have no idea what I’m doing:”.

Samsun: “No one in business knows what they’re doing.”

My magnet therapy:

Juliann: “Let me do all the magnet therapy (unless I know what you’re doing”.

Amy: ” It’s self empowering to do magnets on you own.”

My body: My knee hurts so much, there must be something wrong with it.

Next day, no knee pain. But how come my toe hurts now?

Time: I’m writing this on Tuesday, or is it Wednesday?

It feels like the weekend, when I usually post.

Peaches:

So, you might be wondering: was that snowy image (up top) earlier than the following two of me: one with snow patches and one with me running feeling SO happy!???

No.

Of course not. The snow is the most recent. It’s April…

Remember?
