🦋"Perhaps the butterfly is proof
that you can go through a great
deal of darkness yet become
something beautiful..."🦋
To my great JOY and SURPRISE....my second act is spectacularly better than my first!!!
Sure, I had the dream job..which didn't feel a day like work...because I absolutely loved what I did.....It still came with anxieties, deadlines, and a host of other external issues I had no control over (life), but it was the absolute best job!
I traveled a lot....Morocco, Ethiopia, a large portion of Europe (lived in Italy for several months), the Caribbean....you name it...I have been there. More travel plans are the horizon too.
I even snagged an invite to the wedding of the nephew of the King of Morocco! That was just sooo awesome!
There were some sadness and disappointments too...a mostly bad marriage, two miscarriages, two brain surgeries, divorce, no longer able to work.
It's amazing to me that it was the sadness and disappointments that made me want to be better, happier, more authentic.
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that I have decided to look beyond the imperfections.
As I write this I realize even more how blessed I have been....the first act was AWESOME and by any measure, I could have been satisfied with it alone, even with the sad times...but I have been doubly blessed with an even more awesome second act!!
My life is just beautiful, and just PURE AWESOMENESS now!
What ever, you are going through right now, DO NOT give up.....your BETTER is coming!
"You have to choose to be better when disappointments and adversities strike. It wont happen like magic either. ..you have to commit and work hard at it...but the results are beautiful as you evolve and grow."
Be deliberate as you go about living your best life.
Life is AWESOME! Don't just exist....Get out there and LIVE it!!
🕊🌼🍃💞
