AMSTERDAM!!!

Those of us…

Some people do not have to search – they find their niche early in life and rest there, seemingly contented and resigned. They do not seem to ask much of life, sometimes they do not seem to take it seriously. At times I envy them, but usually I do not understand them – seldom do they understand me. I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know – unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

Rules to Being HUMAN.

The Rules for Being Human

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately “works.”

4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. “There” is no better than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here,” you will simply obtain another “there” that will, again, look better than “here.”

7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have the all the tools and resources you need; what you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. The answers lie inside you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

What is the difference between a thought and a word spoken in seclusion?

…nothing! The thought was simply strong enough to manifest the word.

Just a reminder of Me, because sometimes I forget!

Conversations with JAH!

Every since last May (2009) -while in deliberation of my 3rd run across the country- a conversation is had with -who seems- like a big brother to me. Out of no where, are his calls with valid points, kinda like Robert Horray in 4th quater. His insight from the outside in IS exactly what I need to release from the inside-out. The things I know better, but don’t act on, he always calls me out on. An all I can do is smh and agree. It seems like our convo are me saying: ‘Tru’. ‘Yep’. ‘I know right’. (and not in that order)

So much is credited to these talks and I grow increasingly wiser with each one. Where would my running be without these talk? Would I even still be consider running? One things for sure, I have no regrets of any time of day or opportunity to growth in mu mental, during my conversations with JAH!

Thanks Boss!

What’s Next?

Just my thoughts: ‘Millionaire. Billionaire. Trillionaire…..Fa-fillionaire?’ -JP  #DontJudgeMe.

Perspective: Good & Bad… But Who Decides???

What is a bad thing anyway? A bad thing is something that is different than what I want. More importantly, who gets to decide what the bad thing is? If I watched mother bird lay her eggs in a nest, and then a cat ate the baby bird. Who am I to say “bad cat!” When the cat could rebuttal, “Nooo, good bird!”

Hmm.

What do you do after you finish your 3rd run across America???

Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.Eat. Eat. Eat.

…and sleep! But don’t judge me, it’ll only be for 2 days!!! I feel deserving.lol

Virginia Beach, Va.

So after my run today, we all agreed it would be a great idea to get some rest & relaxation and took an impromptu trip to Virginia Beach. Good times. Allot of people.

Headed to Virginia Beach for some end of the run R&R! Hope or Die! 2010' Getting my 'Fresh Air' on...

We all needed it as we get close to closing out Hope or Die. An even though the 300 mile off-route trip took forever, it was well worth it to take the time to relax, reflect and kick my feet up.

Chill-laxin!

Golden Touch Auto Sales Chooses Hope!

Thursday April 1st we’re traveling across the country on our last leg literally less then a hundred miles from Washington, DC when our dear Pearl (Hope or Die vehicle) starts acting up. In all honesty I couldn’t get upset being that she’s taken us clear across the country over a 6 month period with hardly any maintenance or care. But like a real trooper she’s held on…that is until we reached Richmond, VA. Once in Richmond our Pearl started sputtering and acting as if she could go no further. Her breaks started to squeak, her oil needed to be changed and she had so little energy she could barely enter the freeway. The whole team and I felt sorry for our dear old Pearl and decided to scrounged our pennies together to get her the care she needed. Hustling from one car shop to the next we were faced with outrageous price quotes and long turn arounds. But instead of feeling discouraged we decided to brainstorm and that is when I remembered a dear friend who owns a car shop in Richmond. I called him up and told him about all of Pearls ailments and like a good care giver he asked to see her right away.

Once Pearl was in his presence he quickly had a technician check her engine and go to work. I then entrusted him and the Golden Touch Auto shop with our dear Pearl and left her over night to receive the best care. The next morning I got a call that Pearl was ready to get back on the road. So exited I ran down stairs to the lobby of the hotel to see our Pearl parked outside beaming. Golden Touch Auto hand delivered Pearl to us in tip top shape. The team at Golden Touch Auto replaced her brakes, changed her spark plugs, changed her oil, rotated her tires and a host of other things that helped get her back on her feet. When I asked what the bill would be for her care, the owner simply stated, “Her care is on us”. “Are you serious”, I replied in complete disbelief. The owner and crew at Golden Touch Auto fixed our Pearl free of charge without any questions or hesitation, just to show their support of Hope or Die and our cause to instill hope to the masses. What a gift, what a blessing! The amount of gratitude I have for the owner and staff at Golden Touch Auto is unmeasurable. Their generosity and support will always be remembered by myself and the rest of the Hope or Die team. Pearl is back on the road feeling better then ever, with a smile on her grill and a new pep in her step. Thank you Golden Touch Auto from the bottom of our hearts!!!!! – Andrea Batel
