Sometimes....

Sometimes, it takes everything we have to just breathe. This week (although only Tuesday) is that time for me.

A lot of stresses are hitting all at once lately. Now while the old me would prefer to ignore them and stay inside my protective bubble, I realize that I must recognize these stresses, work through them, and move on. It's called LIFE. Good, bad, or ugly we are here to live it.. So live it I shall!

This is no easy task for me because I often doubt my own ability to move forward. I often over- analyze every situation to the point of driving me a little crazy.  I often sabotage my own life so that I can pave the way for others.  Not this time.. Oh no! Not this time.  

This time, instead of old habits taking over, I have decided that a peaceful heart, a morning alone with prayer, keeping a positive outlook, and being true to myself will pull me through whatever "life" throws my way. 

It has taken me quite some time to get to this point; but now that I'm here, I'm grateful to my CR friends who have helped me see that overcoming my own discomfort, my own insecurities; I am able to MOVE forward instead of retreating back into my protective bubble. 

The bubble has popped!  *POP* Did you hear it? 

I will climb down off my soap box now. :)

Good night. Hold your children tight. My hope tonight is that my words will be inspire one person to shed their bubble and move forward.. :)
