Enjoying the Space You're In...

Sometimes not so good things happen and at the time, you don't understand why. I'm discovering it's during these times you have the most opportunity to grow and learn. And right now, in this moment, I am very cognizant of the space and place I'm at in my life...and I've decided I'm going to enjoy it! Yep, it's that simple...instead of trying to quickly rush on to the "next phase", I think I'm going to sit back a little and coast through the phase I'm currently in.

Upon making this decision, as it would be, I'm also finding there are people who will want to pull and snatch you out of your learning and attempt to place you in the space THEY want you to be! If you've been reading my past posts, you'll know I'm somewhat newly single. At first, and sometimes even now, the feeling is ...surreal. After over 23 years, I find myself a single woman again, in a time where many things have changed since I was that 21 year old woman, just embarking on the world as an adult. I've discovered and am continuing to discover so much more about myself! Some good, some not so good...but it's all good, in the grand scheme of things!

But right now, after a lot of thinking and a little bit of reassessing, I'm finding I'm in the perfect position of great opportunity. A position of being a mature adult, with a (somewhat, lol) sound mind, who's very capable of making decisions that will put me where I need to be, aligned with the universe and the world I live in. And I will NOT be rushed through this process!

During this journey, you will find there are people who've also decided where THEY want and need to be, who are determined to pull you into that space... I WILL NOT BE MOVED! I am going to sit back, while being actively involved in living, and go at my OWN pace! I may not have the whole picture of what I want and need, but I'm faithful my God does! And until my God puts me in the place he intends for me to be, with a full realization that this is where I belong, I WILL NOT BE MOVED!

So, with that said, I'll like to offer a few words to think on:

1. Just because a person tries to place a title/label on you, doesn't mean that's who you are, unless YOU decide to accept that title/label.

2. Never put someone else' wants/desires/feelings ahead of yours, for things that affects you, when they're clearly not making your feelings a priority.

3. Sometimes it's ok to sit back and stay out of a fight that you were never meant to be a part of anyway.

I truly hope this makes some kind of sense to you, dear readers...sometimes, in my attempt to capture what I'm feeling at the moment, I assume you've all been with me during the whole ride. Until next time.... ~Toodles!!
