The last few years have been an incredible journey of personal discovery for me. Dealing with difficult circumstances brought me to my knees all the time and softened my heart to be directed to improve my life.
I have found that I am very hard on myself. I expect a lot out of myself. I guess I have always known that deep down within me was a good person who had a lot of good to share. Yet I would make mistakes or say stupid things, then get depressed and discouraged. I never felt as if I were “doing my best” because I always felt like I knew better and could do better.
Finally I was lead to the person (Leslie Householder) and books and information (thoughts alive.com) I needed to set my path on thinking correctly and getting my life in order. I realized that each of us has a soul purpose, has a divine nature and goal to fulfill– something to become. When I discovered this, my life began to change drastically. I had finally found a way to do better and become the person God, my Heavenly Father, meant for me to become.
Along the way, I have had so many wonderful lessons, have seen so many miracles, have experienced so many tests, and have had my “eyes & ears,” my heart & mind, opened to receive and understand inspiration. I have immersed myself into the scriptures, have poured my heart out in prayer and have received inumerable great blessings.
Not knowing how to share them, I just jotted notes here and there– in a notebook, in my scriptures, in my computer, over the phone. ;o) A few weeks ago, my daughters were reading a friends blog. This was the mother of their best friends. On her blog, she would post insights and experiences and my daughters were so touched by them. They said, “Mom, why aren’t you doing this? You should be writing the things you are learning down and sharing them with us kids.” I was in shock! My first thought was “You mean you’d really listen to me? You WANT me to write all this stuff down?” Truthfully, the greatest wish I have had over this growing time is that I can share it with my family. I want them to experience all the joy I have, and yet, I knew I could not force it. And now, here they were ASKING me to share! That’s kind of like asking a monkey if he’d like a banana.
So with the help of my dear friend in setting up this blog(digital marketing diva), I am now underway and very excited to share my experiences and insights with you– my children, my friends, and my family.
It is my hope and prayer to uplift and inspire you to become who the Lord truly knows you are to become.
Please feel free to comment and share your insights. We all need to grow and learn from each other!
