A few years ago, I came to a simple realization. Life is a journey. It took me until I was about 36 to realize that life was not composed of events that led me to a destination. Life was not going to be as I had planned it either. Life was not so much about where I would arrive in life, "my destination", but rather all about what was in my path to get there, "the journey"and how I would see it. And so, along the way, I've grown and changed....alot! Some of the changing I did quite willingly and alot of it I fought every step of the way. But through it all, my adversities became my greatest strengths. I learned to gleen wisdom and discernment. Out of my joys I learned to live life well. Out of my deep pain and sorrows, I learned compassion. Basically, the things that happen in our life shape us and mold us....if we allow them. And once we've realized that we are not the authors of our own stories, that's when the journey really begins.
I believe that life is not a journey that is meant to be travelled alone. We need people, we need eachother. It's not a weakness to need others, it's a strength. Join me as I share in my everyday moments,reflecting also on past steps taken. My hope is that you will be encouraged and inspired to walk the journey well....with eyes and hearts wide open.
