Light At The End Of The Tunnel

I’ve worked so hard in these past two years to maintain my sanity during all the chaos in my life. With a clear mind, open heart and new connections that I have made, I finally feel today that a breakthrough is happening. 

At many many networking events and tweetups, I ask people whose business  also  has slowed to a crawl,  how they managed the chaos. Usually the answer  I get is being in nature and faith.  

I have shared in the last year on this blog where my peace has come from. It has been a long road.  Yet, I know  I will look back sometime in the future to this time and realize that this time gave me amazing lessons. Humility is the main one.

I have learned to remain humble when my exasperated mind could not comprehend all the reasons for  the  challenges that came across my path. The greatest gift I have received is a stronger heart.   It has felt like a snail crawling in an uphill battle.

I have looked at the beauty of the butterflies in my garden hoping one day I can be freer to express myself in new ways.  I know I will continue to reach out and make new connections that will lead me to  new doors. Just today, I met a woman at a gift shop and randomly started a conversation. We shared some things in common and have plans to meet for lunch to brainstorm some ideas.

Time and money seems to be a consistent theme for one’s pursuit of new possibilities. I haven’t allowed those issues to limit my mind during my personal growth.  I now hope  that my mind and heart can work like a great team and produce something viable that can sustain me for many years to come.

In the past two weeks, my usual talkative self on twitter has been more quiet. I haven’t been able to express myself with others as I normally do. I  needed this quietness to stay ultra focused for my  next steps.   I am trusting that I am exactly where I need to be at the moment.  I’m open to unexpected events that will lead to more openings.

So while I have felt like a snail in this whole process, I have gained a lot of wisdom.  I sincerely hope that I have made a difference in at least one person’s life to never give up. That would make all this writing on this blog worthwhile. In the end, I know I did it for myself as my own catharsis to create real transformation within myself.
