On the outside my life looked perfect: two amazing daughters, a husband who I adore, a nice home, travel, etc. I SHOULD HAVE been joyful and fulfilled by all my blessings. But... I wasn’t.
On the inside, I felt like something was missing... like there had to be more (and then guilty and ashamed for having those feelings). For years, I tried to ignore all of the conflicting feelings. I kept trying to convince myself that everything was “fine”.
But the frustrating thing is, I knew better.
When I was 19, my little sister passed away from cancer after suffering for 2 agonizing years. Then, a year later, I was left temporarily paralyzed from a brain aneurysm. Over time, my heart and body healed, but the understanding of how precious and sometimes short life is took root deep in my soul.
So, I knew not to stay stuck and unhappy for so long. I knew I had to make a BIG life change.
Life is meant to be EXPERIENCED and ENJOYED.
Everyone is born with unique gifts & a significant life purpose- don’t play small.
You are the author of your own life story. Write well and edit often.
The most important person in your life is YOU, so treat yourself that way.
Travel nourishes the soul.
