This blog will take many paths and there will be days when I can share inspirational stories and dark moments that will be uncomfortable to write about. There will be spelling errors, there will be humor, and places of personal vulnerability at sharing my story with others. My goal is to keep writing from my heart and hopefully I will take something useful from this experience and hope you can find something relevant for yourself. This is the journey of facing fears, embracing transition and change, while becoming self aware of the behaviors, thoughts, and actions that are not serving us well. Something can be learned from our experiences whether they are good or bad. We cannot always control the many things that cause us worry, pain, and fear but we can channel that negative energy into something that is useful and helpful. Self awareness opens the door to enlightenment and self discovery. Change is inevitable; we can either stand on shore and watch, or jump into the boat of uncertainly and truly experience life.

moving on...

from an old house to a new house. I find change to be tough and tonight I experienced a plethera of feelings from sad, lonely, anxiety, and worry. Will I like this new place, what will I do if I don't? I often play the "what if" game. It serves no positive purpose but I worry about the future as if I am trying to prepare myself for that "what if". Perhaps if I think about it enough, then I will be prepared when the worst happens. Sounds sort of logical right? Haha, I wish. I spend too much time worrying about things that most likely will not happen. This uses up energy that could be spent on positive and puposeful endeavors. It goes back to living in the moment which is hard for myself and I believe for most people. We live in a busy world where most of us are preparing for the next week, day, hour, or even five minutes. My mind is so well trained that I worry without even realizing I am worrying. Who knows what tomorrow will bring and I would like to stop preparing for a future moment I know nothing about. All I can speak for is this moment right now. I am still unsure, sad, and anxious but what I do know in this moment is that I am ok, I can do this, and its good to embrace change.
