One Step at a Time

Time can, and, does change everything.

Moments for pause and reflection, seeing what’s important in life. Healing takes place, allowing us to see things for what they truly are. Perceptions in life, no longer the same. A different person, a different mentality.

How can one be so blind to the reality of life? We all, at some point in our life, lack communication, receive mixed messages, or simply don’t speak and articulate as effectively as we may think.

The beauty in life, when something goes wrong, it’s a stepping stone for our own growth and understanding. A new beginning-time to let things go. Hurt and wrongdoing from the past, sometimes resurfaces. Thinking the storm had gone, passed, run its course, having forgiven and moved on.

I am understanding and realizing that feeling these feelings, thinking back to those days is okay for its just a part of letting go, part of the healing process. What matters most is that those feelings are acknowledged, but not a place to live and dwell in. There has been much forgiveness that has taken place and loving of oneself.

Guilt likes to try and find a way in my thoughts, my mind, which in turn impacts my heart, stirring up emotions. I will allow these thoughts to wander, and remind them they are just passing through. These thoughts will not take control over me.

To live a balanced life filled with harmony and peace, it’s best to fill the mind with healthy thoughts, which I do know, can be challenging at times. Each time, the mind becomes stronger, the thoughts weaker, creating new patterns and habits of mind. More focused, more grateful for everything in life.

Perhaps I haven’t quite reached that level of perfection, advancing to my higher self. What I have accomplished and achieved consists of baby steps, slow progress with self-improvement, becoming a better person on many levels—the best person I can be.

Hello and welcome, I am so glad we have crossed paths! It’s no accident you are here! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read. As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world. For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself. I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets. Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose. I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
