Embrace Life

"For what it's worth... It's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you've never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you're not, I hope you have the courage to start over again." ~F. Scott Fitzgerald~

Good morning dear ones. The last year and a half has been a whirlwind of changes for me. I have moved to a new state, got a new job, been promoted, bought a house, and soon my mom will be joining me in this new state I live in. There have been a few downs among these changes, but all in all it's been a great, positive move in my life. I feel at home here. It is something I haven't felt for a very long time. I have been welcomed into the lives of so many wonderful people and I am grateful to be where I am. I feel that I have come to terms with much of my past and I have been able to let a lot go. I still struggle from time to time with a few things, but I am getting there. I have healed more in the last several months then I ever thought possible and it all started with acceptance.

My loves, you cannot change the past, but you can certainly move on from it. I accepted that I could not change where I had been, only where I was going. I began to put myself into the mindset that I was going to make the most of where I was at the moment and things began to shift. It was a slow shift at first, but it has since gained momentum. I still have my moments but they are becoming fewer with each passing day. I have embraced all of who I am and where I have been. I have worked hard to love myself, especially the parts I haven't liked for so long. Like everything else, I still struggle from time to time but it is getting easier. I remind myself how far I've come and that joy, peace, and happiness have found their way into my life once more.

We cannot change others, only ourselves. You may not like change, you may not want it, but it happens. Little, by little we change and move on from what we were. Whether you notice it or not, it is there, constant and inevitable. Embrace that change. Embrace all that you are and all that you've been and love all that you have become. Focus on becoming all that you are meant to be and let the rest of the world adapt. Let love in, it looks good on you.

Be good to each other and yourselves. Life is too short to waste it on hate, and fear. Give into love and enjoy the time you have left. Embrace your family and friends and never let a day go by without letting them know how you feel. Be Kind, Be Peace, and Be Love. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and Love for today. Shine on you beautiful souls... SHINE ON. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
