Good day to all! So much has happened in the past year, too much to go into all at once.

I will say that I have found good in the bad and strength in weakness. I have grown and evolved so much that I can hardly understand how I functioned before. I am much more conscious now, awareness is not just a state of mind; it is a state of being for me. I’m not trying to be all woo-woo, I’m just saying I have a different perspective on my life, what I allow to affect my life, and of course, how I choose to react.

I’m far from perfect and still making mistakes, I am just more aware and taking more responsibility for my actions and what is happening in my life.
I’ve realized, life doesn’t happen to us, it happens for us. It is how we choose to respond, and participate, that creates the outcome; our reality, we call our life.

I decided to open myself up to further education, enrolling in classes, which will ultimately change my career path. Soon afterward, I began to be tested again, in all areas of my life! This struggle has allowed me to find the good in the bad, and my strength in my weakness. In retrospect, sorrow and grief; in utter chaos and misery that consumed and dominated my existence: it is in this, where my growth began.

I believe the journey will last a lifetime and is more incredible than I ever expected or imagined possible. Sometimes I sit back and laugh at the absurdity of it all, and think “how did I not see this before?” I sometimes feel like an infant seeing and experiencing life for the first time but laugh in the knowing, that I AM simply choosing, a different perspective and experience for myself. There are still circumstances that are out of my control; sh!t happens right! It IS in how we respond, that makes all the difference in our world.

I used to say that I had a very INTENSE personality, now I realize I was just “in a TENSE” state of mind or being. How awesome is that!? What a revelation that was!

Makes you stop and think a little right? When I first said that, it took me by surprise, as if a light bulb went off in my mind: I remember being flabbergasted that I had never realized that before! This single thought, changed my life…kicking open the door to my personal evolution; to stop being a victim or a survivor, stripping off the labels and claiming my personal power, over my life and my reality. How can it get better than this? It can and it does.
