Entering into the new spirituality


It's been quite a while since I have been able to sit long enough to write a post.  I have changed in these past two years.  I have grown exponentially from a scared and frightened - panicked - mother to two teenage boys, to a woman who is confident, not afraid to be me, but with a new attitude of panache.  Sometimes I surprise myself with my ability to step forward and turn off my thinking, even if just for a moment.  Better still I am able to continue my ability of never looking back.


I have to admit that I have never looked back in regrets, but often I see forward to what the consequences could be and by the time I get through with all of the analogies, I have missed the opportunity of advancement.

ACCEPTANCE

It's bad enough to worry about being accepted amongst your peers, but being accepted by yourself is a whole different concept.  Accepting your splendor, and not berating yourself for, in your opinion, missing the mark.  When others around you are amazed at your courage and ability to move forward when others seem at a stand still, your mind is in a different realm all together.  And while sometimes it is a good thing to visit other realms, when you are accomplishing a goal, or moving through your life, it is often a good thing to stay in the here and now.  

The things I have accomplished are amazing, and still there are more adventures for me, this time as a solo participant. 

Step Away from the Wall and Move Forward!

Reacting to what is thrown my way!

Isn't life amazing when it pulls the rug out from underneath your feet. I have learned to be resilient over the years and thought I pretty much had things somewhat under control, when yet another experience is knocking at my door. Learning and re-learning what I have been taught. Not letting things take me under and realizing that a person will always be the way they are, by nature, and some will never change their habits.

One thing that still continues to amaze me is just how mean people can be to each other and people they love. My reaction times are getting better and better, but this trait still catches me off guard. Realizing that the quicker people like this are out of my life, the better my life will be. And when they are in my life, admitting to myself that "this is only temporary" and to get the experience over with so that the better things in my life will prevail.

Listening to inner voices and deciding whether to believe them, or whether this type of thinking is only a habit and something that needs changing. Becoming more aware of the snags in my life and moving on from them. Big steps. Ones that I can achieve. I am strong enough and more than capable. My goals are set up for me to achieve once again.
