Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Life viewed in retrospect can seem to present itself in one long path.  Sure the path's not straight.  We all make significant decisions that alter our direction, either temporarily or permanently but there is a consistency.  A flow that means that traveling it back it gives the feeling of  traveling a corner not a break.

Then something monumental comes along and in a heartbeat our path moves; no controlled corners this round.  Life just stops dead in that second,  jumps sideways, then keeps going as if nothing special occurred.

Depending where your head and heart were at in that second you don't even consciously accept the shift until it all crashes down around your feet.  The thing is, something did happen.  Deep within yourself you find a fundamental shift occurred and it's being expressed, within your life, within your being.  All you can do after you realise is clear away the rubble and find a way to be ok.  To travel at peace with the fact that nothing will ever be the same again.  To recognise you are no longer the person you thought you were and find a new normal.

You are both less and more than you were and now as you look through your life with new eyes you have a choice.   You can choose to see only the muck or heal searching for the the jewels.

Life has sometimes challenged me in unexpected ways but love, growth and inspiration are the foundation of all great journeys.
