I'm Starting with the Man in the Mirror

Or in this case... woman.

Sigh.  I miss blogging and although there's a handful of things I really ought to be doing right now, I feel like I just need to take a moment for myself and reflect on a few things in my life right now.

Life is good.
I wish I could help every one of you understand how sincerely I mean that.  I feel so abundantly blessed in my life right now, regardless of my trials.  I think back a couple years ago and remember how I wondered if I'd ever be able to say that again, and then I realize how far we've come.

I feel like the last two and a half years have been very challenging.  There were times when I'd felt like I had lost nearly everything.  There have been times when loneliness has literally taken over my existence and made me feel completely unimportant in this world.  There have been trials, big and small; some faced gracefully and some not handled well.  I'm not thankful for them all.  I think people who say that are liars.  Given the choice, I wouldn't go through them again.  I also think people who say otherwise are liars.

But here I am.  And not only that, but I feel like the transformation has only begun and it's gaining momentum quickly.  I feel a lot of positive change on the horizon mixed with a whole new outlook on life.  I've never, at any point in my existence, been so ready to embrace it.

Last month my husband took me to Las Vegas and we saw Cirque's Immortal show based on Michael Jackson.  I didn't love the show, but I love me some MJ.  Say what you will about him, but I think starting with the man in the mirror is exactly what we all need to do and I feel like at this point in my life, I have the courage to do it.  Thank you for a beautiful, positive message!

Forge ahead fearless souls!  Make a difference, even if it's only for yourself!
