Plot Twist

"If you allow momentary defeats to find shelter in your heart, you are allowing your most beautiful dreams to become homeless." ~Dodinsky

Good afternoon dear ones. Have you ever heard the saying, 'No one ever said life would be easy, they just said it would be worth it'? I know I have, and I can attest that life can definitely be difficult. However, I can also attest, that it is worth it. Life has thrown me many curveballs, but it has also given me many blessings along the way.

Before I moved here to SC, I was down in a hole so deep that I thought I'd never come out of it. I let many things weigh me down and I wallowed in misery for years. I felt no joy, no peace, no anything really. I figured I would be that way the rest of my natural life. Anything bad that would happen, I would throw my hands up and shout to the Universe 'Why Me' or 'What did I do to deserve this'. I just didn't see a way out of the constant bad luck cycle I thought I was in.

It took me awhile to realize that my life wasn't as bad as I was making it out to be. I was healthy (relatively speaking), I had a roof over my head, food on the table, my kids, and most of all, myself. I truly had a lot to be grateful for and when I began to see the blessings that I had, more started coming my way. I got the job offer to move here, I found my tribe, and I met the love of my life. I have gained so much since then and I believe more is on the horizon. Even if it wasn't, I am content with my life the way it is. I am happy.

My loves, life will never be perfect. You will get knocked down. The key thing is, you need to get back up. I saw a quote once (Shocker I know), that said 'When something goes wrong in your life just yell "PLOT TWIST" and move on'. I am not sure who said it, but it speaks volumes. So when those curveballs throw you off balance, dust yourself off, yell 'PLOT TWIST' and march on my friends. I promise life will get better.

Be good to yourselves and each other. You never know what tomorrow will bring. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
