HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!
Well my friends…my time is up, and it is time to say farewell to this chapter of my life. Yes, it’s true…my one year blog journey is officially over. I am ending where I began.
The original idea of this journey was borne out of an ironic twist of fate that stemmed from a tumultuous past relationship (which is too long to explain here); and it ended in forgiveness in a most beautiful, harmonious, and synchronistical fashion with that same person…two days before the end of this blog. Thus my reason for saying, it ends where it began. An evolutionary unfolding has come full circle.
This past year has been an interesting one to say the least, and I am grateful for every moment of it. It was surely quite the learning experience. I laughed, I cried, I failed, I learned from it, I got up and tried again. I got really real with myself, I found my voice, I learned how to use it, I learned how to clearly communicate, and I learned about self-respect, self value, self worth, and self-confidence. I found my passion, got committed to changing my health, put myself first for the first time, got really clear on what I wanted, got focused, took action, never gave up, and refused to settle for less.
And then I laughed and learned some more.
I learned that with surrender comes peace; and is not to be confused with defeat, giving up, or giving in.
I learned that there are no mistakes, no dumb luck, no coincidences, and nothing is by chances; but rather everything is perfect in its unfolding exactly the way it is…even if I do not know why in that moment.
I learned that I am neither the pitcher nor the batter…I am both. I can throw the curveball AND bat it out of the ballpark at the same time.
And finally, I learned that I am my most important investment, and if I want to see something different outwardly, I must first start inwardly.
So what’s next for me? I guess you will have to wait and see! I do promise however, that Chapter Two will be even better than the last. So stay tuned. ;o)
I'd lie if I say I have read every post, but the ones I have read have been inspiring and it's been fun! You made me wonder, I really want to know about the next chapter, if that was one of your goals, I will stay tune for chapter two but I guess I have to go back and read every post, mmmh that will give me something to do ;) Thank you Nicole for sharing your journey!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you Karina! I certainly enjoyed the sharing experience. Inspiring and fun was definitely what I was aiming for. :) The next chapter will be a lot more clear and with an even more focused direction. I am still in the visioning stage, so when I have a clear picture, then you can bet I will be starting my Chapter Two!
DeleteThe only thing I can say for certain at this point is to continue to expect more fun and inspiring posts! ;)
Cheers,
Nicole
