This journey has been fraught with a multitude of twists and turns and ups and downs. I've been forced to look deep within myself to find strength, patience, and grace. In my darkness I realized that all of this comes from the Divine, and this relationship became stronger than ever.
Situations arose that brought many negative and ugly aspects of me to the surface [gosh I hope there aren't more!], and I've had to examine and deal with them. And grow. I'm learning to love myself in a way I never had before, even the less than perfect aspects of myself. As a recovering perfectionist, I'm learning to embrace the imperfections -- the perfectly imperfect. I'm learning to let go of the things [physical AND emotional] that are no longer needed. I feel lighter, clearer and cleaner.
Relationships changed. Some dear friends hurt me deeply. People popped up in unexpected places and times to provide the support and guidance I needed. Other relationships have deepened. Those who are closest to me have watched this journey and provided so much support [you know who you are] -- you have no idea how thankful I am and how much I love you!
Who am I? I'm a beautiful and cherished child of God in a constant state of becoming.
Where am I going? I'm not sure, but I know this is just the beginning of something special and wonderful!
