After suffering through an extremely difficult time in my life, 2018 is serving me well!
I’m not perfect & never claimed to be
I am honest
I share my mistakes so you can be victorious
I wear my tender Pisces heart on my sleeve
I’m next to the word Sensitive in the dictionary
I’ve always been disciplined in life
With diet & exercise
With my time
With who I allow & don’t allow in
But somewhere along the way I slipped up
I let my yoga practice slip away
My peace was stolen & in the dark of the night, my heart was stolen too
I’m guilty for trying
Guilty for trusting FAR too much
Guilty for not demanding answers
From others & more importantly from myself
The one thing I’ll never feel guilty for is the way that I love
With all of me
My whole heart
My loving soul
My loyal body
My dedication of not giving up
& my open ever expanding mind
I will never apologize for the way that I love…unconditionally! No matter what you have or what you have not! This is my greatest gift & I am so very proud that it can not be taken.
I can remember a time last year that I didn’t want to see the sun rise. I didn’t want to do yoga, I didn’t want to breath.
I was isolated, sad & angry
I felt just awful about myself
Then I woke one morning in early November feeling a little stronger
A little better
A little more clear
I stopped being the “yes girl”
I began using my intuition
Letting it speak to me
I called upon my angels, God & the Universe to guide me
Finally, I looked into a mirror and said “pull it together”! You’re SO much better than this!
Without answers
Without clarity
Without peace, I did just that
I pulled it together
I had been sleeping in almost daily, I now wake at 4am
My bedtime switched from “whenever” to 9pm
I stopped taking calls & texts from people that didn’t have my best interest at heart
I stared looking at my life history. In business In relationships with my family & most importantly, with myself! I made a list of what I wanted to change & one by one I’m beginning to incorporate these changes.
I still have a LONG road ahead of me!
I have many goals to achieve
I have a deep need to spend as much time as possible visiting my family this year
I’m working diligently to be able to do so at leisure
So far I’m conquering building a new business that I’m truly passionate about! While crushing a business that I feel I’ve mastered. I’ve picked my yoga practice back up & feel that for the first time in my life, I’m proud of the woman I am!
A better woman!
A woman of depth & substance who knows how to love with an open heart
It wasn’t easy
I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy
I would however go through this all over again
Not for the love
Certainly not for the heartache
I would do it all over again to become the woman I am today
I love you & want the very best for you ~ Andrea
