The reasons why

-
I can bet that at one point or another in your life you’ve had a burning question about why you are here.

 what is your purpose.

I have, and at times It’s been a struggle.  

Why did something happen?  

Well, this is what I can surmise.  

With all the circumstances that have been presented thus far, I have overcome them.  I reflect on how and why.  

How?  

While falling, I would find the reason to get up.  After time, looking back I would see that what I felt was an insurmountable climb, it was simply a step up towards something bigger.

 Each challenge taught me about forgiveness and love.  

Knowing now, forgiveness isn’t something that happens over night but an event that happens over days, months and years.  

This brings me to the answer to the question which lays within myself and in all of you.

Why?

To show that forgiveness isn’t just for the other person.  Forgiveness isn’t an act that closes what has torn me apart inside but an emotion that shows others, including my children I can be more than what I ever thought.  When they look back at who their mother was they will see someone who taught them more than ever anticipated including that I will love myself enough to forgive another.

I pray they will grow beyond me.  I know that why I’m here is to help humanity learn to become better, and if I describe humanity in my children then I’ve hit the nail on its head.

Having several uncompleted posts as life was happening, I lost track of time and perhaps, a bit of desire to write.  As always, I write with honesty which I was struggling with.   Today, I had a session with my counsellor.  It was amazing to hear myself speak about my journey lately. over a year ago, I was deep within what I thought was a swamp.  I could barely see through the murky waters, struggling to fight the weeds that felt as if I was being pulled down.  I'd get a glimpse of light through and kept on fighting my way forward.  Once out of the swamp and weeds, I gained my foundation and started to work upwards.  The rocks beneath my feet crumbled at times, stumbling and of course falling to my knees.  I would take moments of rest for recovery, often giving myself the grace of tears.  Not wanting to look back in fear of what was chasing me, I kept forging forward.   Today, I spoke about the journey so far and with a burst o...

What love is

-
I’ve had this sorted history of what I thought love was and for the most part, when it came to romantic relationships I’ve not had success.  After leaving my last one, I became determined to never repeat this pattern and to work on myself first.   I’ve been doing this for just over a year now and I must say, the hardest part in life at this moment is breaking old habits.  This of course, has come with friends and family who have shown me unconditional love.  I started therapy shortly after returning, becoming accountable for my actions but also, allowing all the emotions that come up to be faced fully with questions and of course, answers. This weekend was no exception. I was with a friend and they showed me something I didn’t think possible.   How to breathe through my emotions.   Their grace put a wee bit of gold on the part of my heart I thought was never going to heal.  I wanted to run when they did something innocently.  I wanted to just be a...

Deep breath, it’s okay.

I know, it’s been tough lately.  I saw you take a deep breath and want to not speak.  They came up to you and started asking questions.  Your inner child wanted to run and hide but you said all you wanted, which wasn’t much but you did it.   Your trust level is low today and the faith you have in others wavers. I want you to know something though…  Not everyone is the same as those who hurt you.  Not everyone wants to take from you but some, want to give.  Some want to love and accept you.   It’s okay.  Take that deep breath.  You’ve gone through some difficult times but those moments gave you the fortitude to become resilient.  You’ve got this love.  It’s going to be okay.
