Be patient with the journey


This was a real eye-opener today.  This message that I received from Brave Girls.  It reminded me that everything I go through is to teach me.  And some things are harder to learn than others.  Seems rather silly not to know that doesn't it?  Apparently I needed to be reminded.  Because after I read this, the entire landscape changed.  Or did the eyes in which I was looking change?  Doesn't matter.  I kept going, and it felt good!


Your daily truth from the Brave Girls Club
Dear Wonderful Girl,

Someday you will understand. You really will.

Someday you will understand why you had to learn things the way you had to learn them, why you had to have certain people in your life, why things had to be so hard sometimes.

Someday you will understand the way things fell together, the way you were rescued from catastrophes in funny and miraculous little ways. Someday you will understand how you were never, ever alone...even though you felt alone so many days. Someday you will understand how you were led to the places you were meant to be, the crazy twists and turns in the road that you weren't expecting.

Be patient with the journey. You may feel completely perplexed, confused, and even a little lost. Just keep going. Keep smiling. Keeping being you.

And someday you will look to the sky and laugh at how perfectly things unfolded, and you will understand that so much happened just the way it was supposed to...just for you.

You are so very loved

xoxo

Day 19: My first job

Memories of my childhood bakery with a cannoli …. As this roller coaster ride of emotions and outpouring continues on Day 19 challenge to blog each day in the month of November for Blogember I recall my first job. I often say that when we recall the past, things that appear to have gone on forever, are often relatively short in the grand scheme of things.  After my dad passed away when I was 8, my mom remarried a year later.  By the time I was 10 they went into business together opening a neighborhood Italian bakery on the west side of the town I grew up in. This was long before the days of Carlo's Bakery where cakes cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars. A bakery was a lot of hours and energy for very little profit back then.  To that end, I was cheap labor and was trained to bag rolls and make change at the cash register.  In retrospect it talk me a lot about customer service, the value of relationships in returning customers and how running a family b...

Day 18: Happiest Moment of my Life

For Day 18 of the Blogember challenge to blog each day during the month of November, today's topic is the Happiest Moment of my Life.  Hmmm. … this could get interesting! I believe that life is an array of moments strung together creating who we are and what we stand for.  And during those moments we encounter joy, pain, disappointment, sorrow, glee and a miriad of emotions and experiences along the way. Certainly the ones that stand out for me are the moment my daughter was born.  She was truly a gift from God - a miracle - a blessing - and long-awaited at that!  She's the life that my husband and I created from the love that we share.  And along that same vane, when I married my husband was an incredibly happy moment as well.  We didn't marry until age 35, each bringing our histories and patterns into the life we chose to share together.  It was a long road up until then, and now it's a shared one! Other happiest moments: *  Climbing...

Day 9: Favorite Online Shopping Spots

As today's topic for Blogember ; where I have committed to posting every day during the month of November - today's topic is online shopping! Likely the easiest one by far for me, as I'm truly not a big shopper.  The thought of Black Friday makes me develop hives instantaneously!  I'd much rather sit at the keyboard, make some quick decisions, enter my online coupon and click 'purchase' to confirm my shopping cart selections! 1.  Somehow it feels as though I should have a site at the number one spot where I purchase for others, and yet I have my all-time, and most visited spot Sephora !  When the box arrives on the front step, my entire family knows a box of wishes, dreams and magic is soon to be opened!  I love make-up, skin care, hair products and most of all the wonderful samples that arrive in each box!  Oh the magic! 2.  Whew, now that I've finished #1, I'm happy to say that my next favorite site is all about my daughter .. Gymboree ! ...
