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 25: A Love Letter

Perhaps this one is the most challenging blog of Blogember month … it's not about being clever or witty, being funny or entertaining. This blog is a love letter to myself….. Dear Jude, In thinking of all the wonderful things I appreciate about you, what comes to mind immediately is your fierce devotion to your family and close friends. I love that you find ways to comfort, surprise and endear them to you with thoughtful notes, conversations and the occasional, "I saw this and I thought of you," gifts. As you dedicate yourself to ensuring your family is well taken care of and always feels loved, you are an incredible mom. You refer to yourself as an 'intentional' parent - with the way you help your daughter see the lessons in the good and the painful, remind her of her kind and caring heart from which to make decisions and the playful nature you allow to escape showing her how much fun life really is. Part of your nurturing nature has allowed you to

Day 16: Six Word Memoir

"Thought about stopping, then ran harder." Day 16 for the Blogember challenge is a 6-word memoir. I could substitute 'ran' for 'tried' almost every day. Even if for just a brief moment I am paralyzed with fear, confusion, doubt - I press on. And that is the very best time …. knowing that I still have the power within me to continue to 'fight'. This can be a physical challenge, emotional challenge or just what appears to be a mountain of work to overcome…. whatever it is, if I choose to find a way through it, rather than around it - I'm successful. Happened again this week at work - and my husband reminded me last night. Why did you let it get you down for two days when you knew they best way to solve it was head-on, with a direct conversation? He's right. But I'm not successful with the conversation until I'm mentally prepared to have it. And yesterday I did. That's my mantra. For running, and for l

Goal Setting and Success!

Today was a winning day for me. I am closer to my goals than ever before. As you may recall I set three goals for myself involving weight loss, successful professional accreditation and promotion. I have officially lost 4.5 pounds since April 1st, and today passed another part of the designation making be exactly halfway complete! This is a huge accomplishment for me! I've sacrificed and put the time in to set myself up to succeed. Each step is not always forward, but I do keep moving. My husband said to me tonight after work (and finding out I passed another part). "I really admire your determination to keep going. I would have quit long ago. But not you. You didn't let it get you down." That truly means the world, not that he sees me as successfully passing, but that success has not come easily. And I refused to be defined by it. I am driven, determined and downright stubborn when it comes to going after something I want. Tonight I cele
