A good day requires a good drink. London Mule with @monkey47 is just that. ❤️ 🦋 🦋 if that doesn’t perfectly describe what has been happening in my life the last 18 months I don’t know what does. Here’s to breaking the limitations and flying free. 🦋🦋 Ah, today’s#littlebookofencouragement page hits the lighthearted note I have been carrying since stepping off the ship last week. God has been preparing my heart for this next season. For who and what is next. I’ve fought against it, mostly without grace, but like a flower bud in spring God shines light until you have to bloom! My week was made complete by our sweet piano man. ❤️ My treasure of the day…this little guy is made locally from plastic cleaned up off the beaches here in Curaçao. ❤️ A gem uncovered on my 4 am cork board office clean up this morning. Sometimes insomnia has perks. I have lost my bashfulness in trying new things at the bar… This ain’t for you pumpkin haters…. I don’t have a name for it…other than YUM! As a “fixer” - someone who wants to make things better all the time for everyone around her - perhaps one of the harder lessons for me to learn has been that it is not my job to make anyone else other than myself happy. My job is to feed my mind positive things, feed my faith, and stay determined that no one else’s choices are my fault or my responsibility. It’s still a work in progress but little reminders like these help a whole lot. ❤️ We can either spend our lives blaming the bad things and others or spend our lives growing from the things life teaches us. An important distinction that too many traumas in my life has taught me. It would be easy to say I would have skipped all the heartache. But the reason I look at the things I have, all the travel, and all the nights with friends doing ordinary things as beautiful magical moments is because of the trauma. We don’t appreciate what we have if we never experience a broken heart. 🥲❤️ The most powerful lesson I have learned in counseling. ❤️ This one has opened itself in my #littlebookofencouragement a couple of times but I wasn’t really sure what it meant at first. For some reason, today it dawned on me. Funny where this book falls open to sometimes. There are days I wake up with such sadness in my heart it’s as if an elephant is sitting on my chest. It’s difficult to remember that God promises seasons of joy after seasons of dark. That everything is, in fact, just a season. Difficult to remember that there is so much being accomplished in this season of sadness I am finally allowing myself. Growth. Change. Readying for what is next. Some days there is just sadness. And that those days are ok to feel too. 🥺
