that there are gifts to these situations that take time to see. In the past I see how often I allowed life's circumstances to drive and move me. Even when I made choices, it was based upon what was happening to me rather than what direction I wanted to take. Now, through all this, I'm learning the power of conscious choice and conscious action towards who and what I want to be. And as I realize the liberation that goes along with this awareness, it brings a new revelation of how to be thankful even in times of trials.
time for a new thread and a step forward. I've been holding back for the last 3 days, not feeling ready to start a new thread, because that's a step. ces's words somehow propelled me over that last bump.
I'm making the conscious choice to step forward - again and again
thank you ces
