Holistic Bullshit
I was standing in line when this paper spoke to me
It said, “Finding Grace amidst the Chaos,” and I said
Let me read a little more, investigate and see
This looks right up my alley, exactly what I need
Now comes the hard part. . .
Will he see what I see
Should I call him, send a text,
no an email will have to do
I’ll let him read it in his own time
And he’ll know what to do
Per usual the paper gets lost and so do my thoughts
Until soon after I get a call
Amy wants to know
Will we give it a shot
I make a promise to her and myself
I’ll let her know in 24 hours
Should be an interesting evening
Now I feel like a coward
This is it Barista Papa
We HAVE to let her know
The damn broke
And the excuses start to flow
It’s TOO much money, who is she
What are her credentials, what does she know
About someone like me
We are opening a Caffe, can’t you go by yourself
Better yet, we can “fix” this ourselves
I am sick of your holistic bullshit!
I say bullshit, bullshit, bullshit to ALL of your excuses
They are not valid to me
If you want something bad enough
You would make it a priority
Take a risk
You don’t know till you try
Take my hand and come with me
Wait and you WILL see
The first class comes
We make it on time
He sees what I see
Finally, reality
We are all fucked up in some way
Got baggage and luggage
Some still lost at baggage claim
I’ve come so far
Have a marathon to go
Half the battle is getting started
Now it just seems to flow
And now a big thank you to Amy
And all the friends we have made
What a life changing experience
I will never be the same
Oh and just one more thought
It loops back to the first class
When I sat there and said
I liked my hair, when asked
I have a few things to add
I like my confidence, my motherly instinct
And creativity too
Like I said this has been life changing for me
I’ll continue on with this journey
Sign me up for part b!

OK, I left a long and meaningful comment and then blogger ate it. Dammit.
It said something to the effect of "thank you for making me cry on a Saturday night. Bravo or Barista Pappa for doing this with you. I don't think I could get Mr. Mint to commit to a six week class. He is full of bullshit. :-)"
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Self discovery can be painful, but is always good.
