Healing Journey Part 2, click here to start at part 1

These days, I’m really thankful to be turning a new chapter in my life and I’ve done this many other times in the past, only this time I’m not turning back and giving up halfway through the chapter just to go back and roll around in self pity. It’s such a transitional chapter I’ve been in, but it has been a long chapter too. One that’s involved many years and is made up of a timespan much larger than anyone wants to admit. But that’s the thing, it’s nice to just let our guard down and admit we’re not perfect.

To some extent we are all the same, just moving through life the best we know how. Always striving to be the better version of ourselves, all along simply only needing to find ourselves. To find just yourself, your lovely acceptable self! Accepting ourselves & allowing ourselves to be! Walking the talk, being the Being; being all who we promised ourselves we would be. 

Because we promised ourselves that we loved us, that we saw ourselves as lovable and believed in who we were, but then broke the promise. Unfortunately those were the times when I’d beat myself up the worst, the times when I broke the promise to accept, that I was the least accepting of myself. The very time when I “should” have had the most grace and forgiveness for myself, when it would have been best to recognize that I was trying! That I was only practicing and that it was ok if I was struggling. Struggling is part of the process too!

I’ve been holding out on writing about some of my personal growth over the past few months because there’s been so much to process and I want to process it in a way that serves people!

To give some insight to anyone one who is like me, or who I was, just one chapter back. And really, just the one person is all that matters. Someone is out there, maybe it’s you, some reader who sees me and cares about me because they can relate to every word I’m writing. Those that don’t relate would never understand anyways. I’m just showing up to talk to you because I can’t hold myself back! I know I have something to say that’s going to help you, because I’ve been there and I know how extremely painful and powerless it can feel to not be living up to our full potential!

And so what will I show up to say? Who will I be from now on? What kind of difference am I going to make in the world?! Honestly, I don’t need to know, I’m just taking it day by day and I’m starting with the first step, the very most important step of them all! 

Step number one, Never Give Up! <Link, click it for part 3
