What fun it’s been writing this blog now since January 1, 2013, and having all of the amazing guests share their insights as well!
I never thought writing a blog would be so helpful to me and who I am and who I am becoming. The friends I have met since I began this blog have been astounding in number!
Thank you so much to Rebecca Metz, who is the one who encouraged me to write my blog!
You have no idea what this has meant to me to share, and become even more vulnerable, as I open up and share with all of you more about me and who I am. The book I’m a co-author in, Succeeding In Spite Of Everything, was the beginning of me sharing my story.
I am eternally grateful that I walked through my fears when writing my story, “Into the Light”, and then creating the videos and audio’s I created for the multimedia version of the book, as well. I wanted to run the other way! I had many tears as I was writing about painful things in my life and then sharing it all in the other version that required me to create videos!
My spiritual side, my faith in God and knowing that I would help many others through my story, and also when I’m writing this blog every week, are what have kept me moving forward in sharing who I am with all of you.
I have taken 3 personal growth type classes since I began writing this in January, and I keep growing and becoming more of who I was meant to be.
The people I’m meeting on my journey are such beautiful souls and I have a very quick, deep connection with them. They are all people who are striving to become the best self they can be, and finding ways to inspire others, as I am.
I see that I have much wisdom from my years here on this earth, and I also see I have so much more to learn, so much more!
I also know that none of us know when our time on this earth will come to an end and that my each and every day and second are priceless. Treating everyone I meet with kindness and love and seeing them at a soul level is easier than ever, where I am today.
I found out yesterday a mentor and friend of mine, I love very much, will most probabaly be leaving this earth soon. I also found out an old friend, two years younger than me, who I grew up across the street from and worked with at the hospital as nurses, passed away the other day.
I guess my message today is shorter and simple. I hope you learn to love yourself, see others as beautiful souls that God put on this earth and be kind and listen more to everyone.
We don’t get do overs, and we do get to live better this day, this moment! It’s our choice. I am making it my conscious choice. I hope you will too.
We have another blog this Friday from another new friend of mine that I know you will love!
Thank you for your support and for reading all of our articles on my blog!
I am really amazed at the content of all of the articles, and I’m so very proud of all of them!
Please “Share” this post on FB and through email, and any of the posts you see in the archives, so we can reach more people every week with our messages!
Love and blessings to all of you,
Connie
