It’s My Birthday! I’ve never felt more
centered, alive, fulfilled, and blessed. Who knew turning 51 would mark
one of the most extraordinary seasons in my life. By societal standards,
as a mother of seven, and a grandmother of three, I should be slowing
down, getting tired and disengaging more from day-to-day living. In
actuality, I’m doing just the opposite! It just serves as proof that
life is an ever evolving miracle that unfolds in ways none of us can
predict or predetermine.
I pray that my life (what little may be
seen through social media snippets and occasional segments on my
husband’s show) is a testimony to the fact that God, the divine creator,
is able to take us through challenges, twists and turns, yet still
enable us to arrive at a place of glorious peace, love, fulfillment and
joy! You’re never too old, too short, too skinny, too ‘this’ or too
‘that’ to have an abundant life rich with purpose, pleasure and
rewarding relationships. But you have to believe that this kind of life
is yours to enjoy. You must seek it. Go after it. Most importantly, give
yourself permission to pursue only what will make you truly happy. When
those desired people places and things show up, seize them. Enjoy them.
Relish them. Don’t send them away in false humility. Embrace them and
celebrate their arrival! It’s our way of saying thank you back to God.
Over the years, I’ve learned the most dangerous thing we can ever do is rule out the likelihood of new opportunities, simply because there are challenges, obstacles, or social norms that warrant otherwise. We all face these kinds of battles. While every situation differs for each one of us, the difficulties we face were intended to be our teachers, not our demise. Keep your heart and mind continually open to possibility. No matter how dark your path may get along the way, know there is always light and God’s love on the other side. And be grateful!!! Gratefulness gives way to more blessings. It’s a divine law.
Lastly, never ever stop living!!!
