Piece by piece I tear my life apart but NOT without a heavy heart.
What’s not working must be rebuilt ~ Life’s an ENDLESS work of art
Cleaning out my closet. That clutter was an old phase.
It doesn’t support this growth I feel, so it gets set ABLAZE!
When the shoe no longer fits the foot, it’s time to change your ways
The reality of this MADNESS ~ the egos that need fed ~ Do NOT deter me from my path nor send me into dread
My will is MUCH too strong, my faith is made of lead
All I see is what’s to come and the blessing’s that lie ahead
Don’t twist these words. The gift is NOW.
Perseverance ALWAYS wins.
Those who know they make their bed are the ones who will learn how.
Criticisms, judgments strewn, they DRIVE me forward still.
You can’t hold back what’s meant to be and the truth is: YOU NEVER WILL.

What do you do when you change in unexpected ways?
What else can you do? Roll with it!
I spent a lot of time in my life beating myself up for changing my path, my mind, my career, my relationships. I was annoyed with myself. I wondered what was ‘wrong’ with me. Worse yet, I even pushed to stay the way I was, or at the job I was in, or in a relationship that was clearly over. Time and again this proved to be unhelpful and a waste of my precious energy. I don’t find much to be a waste of time in life. We are always learning and growing and I have very little regrets.
Sometimes we are just not meant to continue in the same direction. YES, there is something to be said about stability. Of course, it is a beautiful thing to be grounded and to continue on consistently towards your goals. But, sometimes it’s even more beautiful to LET GO.
EVERYTHING in this life changes and evolves. We’ve heard time and time again the only constant is change. Yet, we think that we are supposed to do things a certain way and by a certain age. I’ve come to realize none of it is important. LIFE IS TOO DAM SHORT!
We need to ebb and FLOW. We need to change and FLY. We need to live and GROW. Experiences are what bring us growth. Listening to your heart, your soul will take you exactly where you need to be. That may not look like what you had imagined. It may not be what you learned growing up.
Recently, I realized it’s time for me to change course yet again. This time it was easier when resistance came up because I’ve been here before. Change is scary and it can feel like you are giving up. But, as long as you are still moving in the direction of what makes you happy, what makes your heart sing, you are doing the right thing.
There are times when things need to be broken down so that you can build again. There is a gift in the destruction, and another opportunity to create your life exactly the way you want to.
In this life, we outgrow certain people, situations, jobs, ways of being and thinking. So we release. We redirect. We let ourselves gravitate towards what feels right TODAY.
Live in the moment. Every moment is an opportunity to choose differently. None of us know what is ‘right’ but we know what is right for our own heart. Let that be your guide as judgment falls to the wayside.
When your old life and ways no longer work, BURN THEM TO THE GROUND! 😉
