A New Chapter

Is it just me, or are you also experiencing some big life changing moments? Perhaps you’re diving into a new career, made the decision to go back to school, are reinventing your idea of the future, or finally taking that first step toward creating your dream? Are you starting a new relationship, have a new addition to your family, or transitioning to a new living space? Maybe you’re dealing with loss, grieving the end of a marriage, long-term relationship, or soul-bound union, or coping with the challenges of sickness and/or disease? So many of you, who I dearly love, are dealing with these big life moments and the time seems ripe with change...

For me, I have been in the midst of healing a relationship with a parent, one that has been estranged for almost 2 decades. What I’ve discovered through my own journey is the dying out of an old story, an old identity, and the recognition that a new chapter is being created. Change and challenge offers us each the opportunity to choose a new way of being. We get to decide to either see an ending, or rather to see a new chapter unfolding. As you come face to face with change, ask yourself, “Will I move forward in the same patterns of fear or will I choose to be brave and step forward in love?”  Trust me when I say, you so deserve to take the step that aligns with the love you are and that you deserve, no matter how difficult the choice. 

As I begin to heal this relationship, as I step forward with courage and honesty to express my feelings, thoughts, and needs, I discover a new depth of love for myself and surprisingly, for them. It has been a process of letting go of the old - the old identity, old story, old beliefs, and old patterns. In doing so, I get to discover a new story, new beliefs, new patterns, a whole new chapter. 

I welcome you to be courageous, to be bold, and to create your new chapter; one that is filled with breathtaking moments, love, fulfillment, and most of all the wholeness of you.
