Love Your Life

This quote resonates so strongly with me. For those that aren’t aware, I’ve been divorced for 26 years. I left my husband on the night of my 30th birthday. It’s the best birthday present I have ever given myself. It was then that I started to let go of the life that i thought I was supposed to be living.

I had this dream of a life of getting married, getting a house, having children and living happily ever after. Kind of like Cinderella, right?

It has not been an easy journey, but then, if it was easy would I have near the memories, growth and depth? I used to live in the why me thought process. Why do I have to be single? Why do I have to handle so much of life when my children were little? Why do I have to work so hard? Why do I have to live the way I’m living? Why does life have to be so damn hard??  Lots and lots of anger.

I slowly started shifting into the consciousness of allowing and understanding that maybe, just maybe a life that I thought was only a pipe dream could be a possibility. I learned that by being aware of the gentle nudges I was getting to try something, to get out of my comfort zone, to take some risks that I could start living a life I love.

Have I been scared to do all of this? Well, yes, silly.  I have.  I’ve been super scared at times. However, that is small thinking. That is box thinking (as in keeping myself in a box and never get outside of it). When I allow the abundance of the Universe to enfold me I have learned that anything is possible.

Sitting here, typing this while sitting in a coffee shop, looking out the window, watching the geese flying over and the sun peeking through the clouds, I’d say I have learned quite a bit to allow this life to unfold and be filled with gratitude.

What act can you take that would allow you step forward into the life that is waiting for you to live?
