Epiphany
Wow, thanks to a recent post and thread from OV and comments from VB I just had this epiphany.
The post started out as a question with OV questioning his efforts to make positive change in the World and if it was even helping. As I read through the comments and rebuttals (GO READ THE COMMENTS!) I was reminded of the saying that the only evil we can fight is within ourselves. This lead me to the thought of how creating a cycling team potentially effects peoples lives.
(referring to Velo Bella and the organization VB created, not my team, mine is just an arena for me to entrap and torture more souls.) (That's a joke, folks)

So she works a 9 to 5 job to pay the bills, but it seems that her real purpose (Lothar spoke of purpose here) has been realized through the activity she does as a hobby. You can decide for yourself which one is her real work, but I think the answer is clear.
Tip of the Hat VB, and thanks to OV for being the catalyst to this Ah Ha.

Deep. Does it change when you have road rash?
we always wonder....who the hell am I in this big world we live.
As Nome said; "like a pebble dropped into a lake" ripples of significants drift out from us to touch many other people in our lives.. people we may not even think are watching or listening, and they in turn, share that energy within their circle. The ripple moves on.....
some people never say a word....but the world still recieves their messages.
We are all incredible beings, sending out thousands of messages to the world with every thought we have..touching everyone around us. Whether you are inspiring with your love of cycling, or with your dedication for helping the homeless- somewhere, you are making a differance in someones life.
does "spreading flair" count as a separate purpose?
Just remember she stole many of our good ideas... :) She'll tell you that. Of course, she kinda took it to the next level or four.
