What Doesn't Destroy You, Changes You!

Crazy how when we get torn down mental and emotionally we can't see the benefits when we are in the middle of it. The past few months and especially the last few weeks has truly changed me in so many ways. Through the pain I have felt I have grown substantially. When I was in the middle of the pain i couldn't see a end in sight or a silver lining to it. However through this pain I was able to feel it and eventually heal it. In the middle of going through one of the most painful experiences of my life thus far I was able to see how I could grow from it and look inside myself to heal the damage that helped create it. Funny that in the middle of the storm we can't see the rainbow that is about to come. Boy was this rainbow worth it, I have came out of this knowing that I a new woman that is continuing to rediscover my inner peace and strength. I am a more aware woman who is consciously working on myself each day. So many of my wounds from childhood and my early 20's can been covered up and not dealt with but it wasn't until I felt this pain that the dam was broken. I was able to see inside myself and not focus on the pain but focus on replacing the damage with peace, light and refreshment. So my advice to everyone that is going through something right now is that trust the process. There is a reason for everything, know that this will help you. 

Growth doesn't come in comfort, it comes through struggle and pain. 

Finding Yourself Again!

Well after a long hiatus I am back to what I love. Writing is truly a outlet for me to express myself and share my thoughts with like minded people. It is crazy to think that sometimes we lose ourselves even when we are doing our best to not. I for so long put others before myself and allowed my standards to be shorted but today I am taking that back. I am in control of my destiny and I am the one who can drive myself forward. It is funny that it isn't until you step back and really look at things from the outside that you see the impact is had on you. I am thankful that through all my growth, struggle and change I have some great people who have pushed me forward. That is what makes true friendships last. The ability to rely on those few people is what gives you power to push forward when the days seem so dark. I have truly found my voice again and I am thankful to be able to jump back in and share my thoughts with all of you. Looking forward to finding myself again in a new form and growing more. Thanks to all of those that have been there through it all.
