Hello out there!! Welcome to my first attempt at blogging :) I recently had one of those moments when LIFE becomes really, really clear. Don't get me wrong, I'm still pretty clueless, HA! But every now and then I get a glimpse of something beautiful. This blog is me trying to share what I love with anyone who will listen :)
So, the last few years have brought about A LOT of changes in my life. I was fired from my job as an LPN. (I DID win my job back and went back only to decide that it just wasn't going to work....but that is another blog story entirely...I'll save that for a rainy day)
I am now a stay at home Mom and Wife and I don't think I could ever find a better job than this <3 But in this whole job loss/job winning back/job quitting process I've gotten to know myself...really, really well. I discovered a love for yoga and decided to pursue my certification to teach. I have also been really getting to know God and opening my heart and mind to what he is doing in my life.
When I stopped and concentrated on looking for signs of God in my life, I found Him everywhere. And at first I kept all this awesomeness to myself. Why? Because I was so worried that someone, somewhere would think badly of me. Pretty stupid, I know. But pretty much my whole life I have kept what I have been passionate about pretty quiet because I didn't want to be judged. But the last few years have taught me that people are gonna judge me no matter what I do. No matter how agreeable I am to EVERYONE, there will always be people who will judge me--whether I give my two cents or not! So why not be judged for what I truly believe and am, than for what people speculate about me? A point I believe that God has been trying to get through to me recently is, don't dim you light. Be a light to this world for God and for your passion. I have been told this by numerous people in the last few months. First in my inner voice, second from a friend in The Sweaty Betties Network, and third from the youth at my church during a performance. So I finally listened to this idea and decided that I am going to push myself to stand behind what I love and not worry about the judgement of others. This is my life and my light and I will let it shine!
Thanks for following along with me on my journey! <3
