Hi Soul Striker, how are you? Yes, officially did not mean for this to take me so long to get back. Time is nebulous here, if it’s a day or 6 months does it matter? 

Was not my intent to open the portal then drop, life’s been busy. On returning from Hawaii, I started a Women’s Strategic Leadership program. Between work and that, my mental capacity to be at a keyboard was capped. Wrapped a couple of weeks ago. Then my dad went into the hospital, which has been a lot to cope and deal.

The word striker has been unavoidable on any media outlet this past month, reminding me of you at every turn, lol. Who were you cheering for SS? England, Norway, and all the cup play of Argentina and Spain FTW were highlights for me. Aside from the Scottish invasion and Cape Verde’s heart of course.

It also was not lost on me around the day when we first met. I had a dream about you, the first since my final night in OBX. Dreams for me are exceedingly rare, and are special when they appear. 13 years SS, my has the time flown. It’s also not lost on me your summer of birthdays and events.

My niece graduated. The graduation day, and weekend couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather.  Now truly is an end of the error for my family in those stomping grounds. Rarely visit friends in that area any more. As people’s lives have shifted so have our going out patterns. When meeting up with my BFF, usually we hang out at her house. K and I have drifted apart.

So why the portal reopening, the million dollar question? Because I wanted simply to say I’m still out here in the world, and you still matter to me. Content to sit in silence, as this is not the way I want to know you SS.

Before going back into silence, there is more to say! However that’s a wrap on tonight. Please say SS this is you out here with me from time to time, and not some rando stumbling by lol.
