My daughter likes to say, "Everything happens for a reason."
When something doesn't go as we planned or there seems to be no explanation, she is right there with those words reminding me that I am not in control...God is.
I have found a quote by renowned poet E. E. Cummings for which I am thankful.
"It takes great courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are."
That quote is a wonderful reminder that I need to be intentional about discovering my unique life. When those happen-for-a-reason experiences occur, it is God sending me seeds. I just need to be more discerning and pay closer attention to the meaning. My inner self knows best. Inward reflecting is key, and making a conscious attempt everyday to make time for self care and personal needs does take courage.
Last night, I completed an 8-week Bible study by Geri Scazzero entitled "The Emotionally Healthy Woman: Eight things you have to quit to change your life." An intense journey and an eye-opening look into taking deliberate, courageous steps to self-discovery.
