30DHC: Day 15 Halfway Mark!

       Before you read! I wanted to briefly note that this post is a perfect example of what it looks like to make a shift in your energy and focus from the negative to the positive. Sitting down to do this, I was in no position to be telling anyone to be happier. However, as I continued forward, my attitude improved and I was able to form some thoughts that are worth sharing. Please, allow yourselves to go through your own processes and take your time going from point A to point B!

       I've re-written this post about five times. It's the halfway mark, and I want nothing more than to write something profound, something inspiring. I'm thinking about the close friends and strangers alike who read these posts, looking to finish them feeling a little more hopeful...but then my attention flows to the one person I know who won't be reading. Focusing is difficult, and I'm in pain from complications with lupus. So I'm going to keep this brief.

       Progress is not a linear event.
   
       Wounds will require you to make many emotional break throughs before they're healed.

       Letting go is something we all can and must do here and there. Just because we let go of something doesn't mean the people who love us will let go of us.

       True love survives all of your changes, forgives all pasts, and makes the most of "now".

       Breakthroughs happen time and time again, and everyday you will gain another reason to be proud of yourself.

       It's perfectly okay to be in love with yourself. in fact, you'd best be, you're going to be living with yourself for...well...the rest of your life!

       Life is great, and we were created to live it to the best of our ability. Give everyday everything you've got, have fun, embrace the love that comes your way, and enjoy everything you have to be grateful for. 

       These are all the things I've personally come to know better as I've made it my mission to choose to live a happier, more fulfilling life. I'm so truly grateful for so much. I'm grateful for my abundance of best friends, whether they've been there since day one of kindergarten or we've only just connected recently. I'm grateful for memories I've made with the late nights spilling tea with the besties, running around searching for graveyards, laughing until we're on the floor, supporting each other with hot chocolate in hand, connecting and then reconnecting, etc. There's so much love in my life. I'm so happy to have this talent and to be able to help a diverse audience of amazing people as we help each other navigate life and come into our own. Life is so, so good. There's so much to be happy about when you really open your eyes. 

       Thank you for giving me this opportunity to teach, to share love, and to guide. I'm grateful for all of you. Don't forget to share with me what you've come to know, as well as ask any questions you might have! Love to all of you!
