Hello World!
As always, I have no idea where to start, so I’ll just start. First of all, this is the new & hopefully improved website! 🙂 I’ve come to the sobering conclusion (no pun intended) that everything is a work in progress…ourselves….our relationships….our communication…our lives….our points of view….everything. There is no “destination”, no matter how many times you’ve seen it, heard it, said it, “life is a journey, not a destination”, somehow I think (and this definitely applies to me) that we’ll all still looking for some kind of “destination”. Why?? Well, for me, personally, it gets exhausting, sometimes. All of this “growing”. I need a destination to just stop and rest and be done with it all. Now mind you, I’m dedicated to it. My life has always been evolving and changing and improving because of it. And it’s not for everyone. It’s exhausting sometimes. It requires going into the depths of who you are, re-evaluating, transforming, repeat….again and again and again. I honestly don’t know how other people do it, let alone me, sometimes.
Anyway….the point is…
Somewhere along the way in the few years that I’ve been doing this (website, journey, personal growth, etc) I guess I somehow really DID make a difference. And thankfully, I was told about it. Saturday, April 1st was my ex-husband’s birthday. I called him, and we had the best conversation we ever had. Literally. Not kidding. In 12 years, the best conversation. Afterwards, this is the text he sent me..
“Thank you so much for the wonderful call tonight. It had to be the best birthday gift I ever had. Our conversation was so nice and pleasant. That’s what is great about us, we can keep the good stuff intact but I do have to tell you it’s like this because of you. You’re the reason we keep our very cool relationship together. You’re a very smart and good person. Thank you. I wouldn’t know what my life would be without our once in a while talks. Thank you again. I will always love you”
World, I honestly don’t know what it’s all about. I don’t. I just try to do the very very best that I can and do unto others the way that I would love to have them do unto me, with the full knowledge and acceptance that it probably won’t happen that way. And I’m so ok with that. Love yourself. First. You deserve it.
