I met a nice young woman today<\/strong><\/span>
via her <\/strong><\/span>blog<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
<\/strong><\/span>
well actually I’ve been reading her for a while<\/strong><\/span>
and we’ve conversed lightly via email and comments<\/strong><\/span>
on her blog<\/span><\/strong>
<\/strong><\/span>
today she reminded me <\/strong><\/span>
(quite by accident)<\/strong><\/span>
that the reason I read<\/strong><\/span>
other people’s blog<\/strong><\/span>
is so that I can live my life<\/strong><\/span>
vicariously through them<\/strong><\/span>
<\/strong><\/span>
and I suppose that’s why you guys<\/strong><\/span>
read mine…..<\/strong><\/span>
<\/strong><\/span>
but I digress….<\/strong><\/span>
<\/strong><\/span>
in this particular woman’s blog<\/strong><\/span>
I am constantly reminded <\/strong><\/span>
of the need for love and romance <\/strong><\/span>
in every human beings life<\/strong><\/span>
no matter how angry<\/span><\/strong>
or jaded we become…<\/span><\/strong>
<\/strong><\/span>
I am reminded<\/strong><\/span>
and I am fascinated <\/strong><\/span>
by the differences <\/strong><\/span>
in our cultures<\/strong><\/span>
<\/span><\/strong>
while I am strengthened by the<\/strong><\/span>
sameness <\/strong><\/span>
in them as well….<\/strong><\/span>
<\/strong><\/span>
she and I are not of an age…<\/strong><\/span>
nor of a culture….<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>
I am Irish Canadian<\/strong><\/span>
she is tri racial<\/strong><\/span>
<\/span><\/strong>
I am a biker<\/strong><\/span>
she’s a girlie girl <\/strong><\/span>
<\/strong><\/span>
but there are some things <\/strong><\/span>
so much the same for us<\/strong><\/span>
that I am rewarded with<\/strong><\/span>
the understanding<\/strong><\/span>
that somehow<\/strong><\/span>
life will work itself out<\/strong><\/span>
<\/strong><\/span>
because<\/strong><\/span>
somewhere…<\/strong><\/span>
somehow…<\/strong><\/span>
there is someone…<\/strong><\/span>
who understands….<\/strong><\/span>
<\/span><\/strong>
What if Mia?<\/span><\/strong>
what if?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
