NEW "Old Beginnings"

This is an old blog post of mine from March 8, 2014 ~ on a different blog. Little did I know, at that point, that my life would COMPLETELY change in ways that I NEVER anticipated. So much has happened since then. And to my great joy, I am finally closing a very difficult chapter (really many chapters) of my life. Many of you who know me, only know me from the difficult and challenging chapters. I long to let you know the joy in me as well as the strength. 

I'm re-posting it here ~ it was titled "Old Beginnings" ~ because I am finally walking into NEW BEGINNINGS. I have seen the devastation that a chronic illness from an invisible toxin does not only to your body, but to your life. It will take more than a blog post to explain it all, but this is a start. I'll dive more into my story in the upcoming weeks and months, but this will do for now. This journey is why I have created my new Take OWNERSHIP Transformation Coaching Program and revised my coaching philosophy and approach. 

​What ways have you been blindsided by life? How did you recover? Let me know in the comments below......

Old Beginnings

Sometimes life takes you where you want to go. Sometimes it takes you where you need to go. Anyway, life will take you if you don't take yourself.

​
So much has happened that I thought would be resolved by now.  
But it hasn't.  

And now all those "old" new beginnings need to happen.  
All at once. 
Here.  
Now.  

A time for resolution.  
And closure.  
​

So I am closing an old and very lengthy chapter on my life. And opening a new one. Maybe even starting a new book. Writing it this time, listening to the Author of my life even more closely. Or maybe just actually listening to Him. 

By that, I mean not just listening, but acting upon that still quiet voice inside of me that knows what to do. I listen most of the time. But often, what is asked of me is different than what is expected by others. And while I surely rock the boat and march to a different drummer, when it comes to really doing what I need to do for myself, I lay down in the ship and hand over my drumsticks. 

That is about to change…..
