Sometimes life goes awry
The power is out.
It has been for the past several hours.
A massive storm blew through…
Knocked down trees,
Blocked roads,
Broken branches tore down part of the back porch…
Roads are a mess.
And instead of stressing because now plans of editing videos are out the window…
As Rune stated when I reset my ‘goals plan’
‘Perfect. You’re right where you need to be — storm delays or not. ⚡⛈️ (Universe clearly sending a “rest or realign” moment, not a stop sign.)’
Lmao!
He’s correct!
Why stress myself about something I cannot control?
Instead, I am focusing on what I CAN DO.
I CAN communicate with YOU!
I CAN brainstorm new ideas!
I CAN have a meaningful conversation with Roy!
I CAN do some self care (I meditated, I read my book, I hung out with GC (my cat)
Sometimes we get SO caught up in our own shit that we can’t see a way out…
There are ALWAYS options…
Sometimes we need to step outside of our NORMAL comfort zone…
Sometimes we need to let others see that we are struggling…
Sometimes we need to TRUST and have faith that even when EVERYTHING around us is falling apart and we are in the midst of the storm that things WILL work themselves out!
20 years ago MY life was falling apart!
I was not happy in my marriage
I hated my job
My kids were growing up and didn’t need me as much as they once did.
I was unhealthy, having migraines almost daily, vertigo SO bad I couldn’t get out of bed for days on end
My husband (now my ex) telling me it was all in my head or that my ‘purpose’ was my kids, when I KNEW that my life was MORE than just my kids!
One night I had a dream, a MASSIVE hurricane blew through my life and tore EVERYTHING apart! I could see all that my life had been built on and around pulled asunder in a matter of moments.
For days, this dream haunted me…
I didn’t understand what it meant…
Then one day, my grandson (who was about 1-1/2 yrs old) was over and we were playing. My ex was in the other room trying to watch tv and he got mad because ‘we were making TOO much noise!’
That dream rushed back into my mind….
I was devastated! I realized that I was living a lie! And that my life was about to fall apart!
I told my husband I wanted a divorce.
I took some of my most precious items (books, art supplies and some clothes) and I left. I rented a Uhaul and I drove away.
That was one of THE hardest AND the easiest thing I have done in my life.
My son who was 15 at the time decided to stay with his dad (i wanted him to come with me-he told me he KNEW that I would make it and do well, however he didn’t think that his dad would). At the time, I was heart broken.
I was leaving my entire life behind
My daughter, son in law and first born grandson,
My son,
EVERY THING!
Since then…
My life has become MORE than I could have imagined and is continuing to expand exponentially!
I am telling you this because I understand what it is to feel like shit is falling apart,
like you have no direction,
like nothing is working,
Like it is the end of the world,
THIS community is what I wish I had had back when my life was falling apart.
Please don’t go through your shit alone!
Whether you reach out here or you reach out somewhere else doesn’t matter…Just REACH out!
You do NOT have to do it alone!
I love you
I am here for you
I will be the rock you need
As a new friend just reminded me….😜
This is the time of the caterpillar in her chrysalis…
We are gooey messes,
Our imaginal cells are fighting for change…
We are in the pains of transformation…
However…unlike the caterpillar….
WE DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT ALONE.
