Change & Self-Discovery

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.” 

― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym

I attempted to write this blog several times within the past 6 months and several times I found that I did not know how to put everything into words. So this is my disclaimer: This blog may be the most unorganized mess I have ever written. (And to be even more honest, it may be the most reflective of what my life is at this moment in time.)

I feel like I have been dealing with a mental block that is now causing me to spill my thoughts and emotions onto this page, in hopes to be cured of my silence. I've literally started writing so many times, thinking that I had something to say, only to find that it still didn't make sense to me. Now, my thought is, "Forget making sense! Just be free."

My life lesson over the past 6 months has been in change, and I have decided that "Change is Good" or at least, change is a natural progression in life that can encourage personal growth. A little over 3 months ago, I gave birth to an amazing little boy. Just 10 months before that, I was saying "I do" to my soul mate. Yet, just two years before that, I was "The Lost Child," that was so far from, in every way, everything I now know to be absolutes in my life. 

I'm not 100% sure how I got here, but I'm sure it has a lot to do with divine intervention and my journey to self-discovery. Not to say that your journey of self-discovery will lead to a husband and kid (especially, if that's not what you're looking for) BUT I think it can greatly improve your outlook on life.  In my experience, understanding yourself and where you are in life, can help you understand how to change and how to get where you would like to go.

So, moving forward, my goals are to: (1) turn my blog into a book, and (2) start a business. Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted! 

In addition to updating you on my progress, I promise to write a "review" on pregnancy and labor, as well as blog about my transition to motherhood.

Feel free to comment about how "self-discovery" has helped you to make positive changes in your life!

I look forward to hearing from you!
