Live and Be Free

Hind sight is 20/20 without a doubt. Life lessons however are the best, most effective way to learn in life. Well, in mine at least.

Music is a wonderful thing, it can pull memories to the surface, sometimes without realizing it. Kind of like the sun shining and then the sky filled with dark clouds. A spark came to me. Any bad memories or sad moments of the past with a person, think of a happy memory. Forgive and let go of the sad or hurtful memories and live and let yourself be free.

I had always thought part of my story was going through infertility and living with pcos but its actually beating infertility, being blessed with two incredible children and becoming a strong confident woman!

Its been (and will continue to be) a fun, interesting, learning, growth experience and I am impressed at how I have allowed myself to be open to growing even more.

Yesterday my husband and I celebrated meeting each other 18 years ago! Such a blessing to think how we have grown together over that time and have created the life we are living. We’ve had a lot of passion and a lot of forgiving, happiness, tears and angry words, laughter and fun. True happy high’s and sorrowful lows. Also the absolute best 18 years of my life. I am truly thankful we have stuck it out with each other this long. Because we have each become a couple of awesome people and I am so thankful for my husband!

Ive learned that any darkness needs a light shone on it to help it heal. You have the ultimate power to change your story, much like Ive chosen to change mine. No longer allowing any focus on any of the negative people or things and realize at least 1 good thing about it or them. Replace that hurtful memory, allow it to be released and free yourself.

I have been enjoying Sarah Prout’s Dear Universe Book Club as well as Gabby Bernstein’s The Universe Has Your Back Book Club. I really love the positivity. I also just went to my first BUTI Yoga class and wow. I loved it so much – empowering! Ive been wanting to move my body, its been about 6 months since I fell out of that routine. I was nervous, worried what others would think if I couldn’t do it… alot of the head talk, that is pure BS! I did it, loved how it felt and am loving my body more. Love the skin you are in. Be the best person you can be. Everyone else’s opinions are merely that. Live honestly, authentically, successful and happy!

Those negative stories that I thought were the ones that made me me, I completely missed the point, until now. What was the lesson with everything and everyone? How have I grown because I knew them or had the experience. I thought I knew this, I really did, I thought I was believing it, but I don’t think I was.
