My Former Life Seems Unrecognizable to Me Now

My former life seems unrecognizable to me now.

Ten years ago, I could never have imagined living, loving, parenting, and working as I do now. It seemed to big and too impossible. Similarly, it is hard to imagine the life I once lived. It is a past self that I have empathy for, but no longer relate to.

She was doing the best she could, given all of the fear and responsibility she carried around. She found ways to grow, despite the limitations placed on her. I am grateful for the work she did to get me here. And I honor the struggle that she went through so that I could live this close to my truth and my calling. I honor that version of myself by making decisions and behaving in alignment with my truth - despite my fear - each and every day.

My life, my career, my loves are bigger than I imagined and I am grateful for the past and present courage, effort, and decisions that make that possible.

Thursday morning reminder: You are only a few decisions away from a different life. . . .
