Riding Soul-O (1)

About this book

I was 52-years-old; I was facing an empty nest an empty occupation an empty bank account a quantifiably empty love life and a bankrupt ideology of what comprised my purpose in life. If Maslows Theory was correct I was still a long way from the Pinnacle of his triangular reference of Life Stages - Self Actualization. I was soul sick; I was left wondering "Is this all there is?" I arrived at this point in my journey and realized I was again alone on the Life Road and my role as Super Mom was coming to a close. For most of my life I had been cast in the role of Someones Daughter Someones Wife Someones Mom Someones Lover; my psyche was howling for a new role in life I could call my own my soul was screaming to be nurtured. On a sweltering day in July of 07 I didnt realize it then but my declaration of "Im Gettin My Own " as I climbed off the back of yet another mans motorcycle for the last time would be a metaphor for life as well. Not only would I get my own motorcycle in the process I excavated my own life from the dismal heap of circumstances that surrounded me.
