A lot of shifts have been happening within.
I am emotionally and physically tired.
I still need to grasp exactly the many details that are raging through my head.
I am completely at a loss from where to start.
The threads in my hand are multiplying quickly and sometimes I am not able to handle them all. I am still learning how to sew them together, how to mend.
It is exciting and frightening. Interesting, mind boggling and infinitely fed up of holding it all and juggling it all.
A steep learning curve on many, so many fronts!
It gives me a boost of hope.
It allows me to continue my journey, see the true me emerge from the ashes. Building up my strengths where weaknesses resist.
The infinite grandness of the universe who support me and give me the tools and people in my life that help me achieve it all is awesome.
I am blessed.

It's time to start sewing
Defining me is like defining the sky. Lots of mysterious and unphatomable levels. But striving to be simpler everyday with the help of God and my family.

This is life
Sadness is when you are not heard
Sadness is when you are not listened to
Sadness is when you feel without support
Sadness is when you wake up with a heavy bleeding heart.
Lonely is the path of the truthful
Lonely is the path of your true self
Lonely is the path of your high standards
Lonely is the path but I know I am not alone
In grief I weep
In grief I bleed
In grief I am strong
In grief I live without bonds
Light my way dear angels
Show me the trail I am meant to take
Lead me by hand because I am fearful
Let me gather myself for the battle will be long

Living in the real world
Life is unexpected.
We get used to our routine and suddenly life changes our whole world. It is scary most of the time. Often interlinked with sadness and anger.
But I have been learning that everything happens for a reason. Every encounter is there to help me grow. Every little thing whether welcomed or not is there to help me reach my full potential - find my true self.
And I am in a point in my life with many wonderful people who are helping me in more ways then they will probably ever know.
I am also at a point of my life where my world just went topsy turvy. A tiny speck but which can change a lot of outcomes in my very near future. A lesson in letting go, facing fears and accepting what I can not change. A lesson in making sure I do not let my stress out on the children and a lesson in remembering that it is useless to stress about something I can not change.
The things I have been struggling on in parenting came all tumbling down on me with no way out except moving on and making sure I finally get there. It is amazing this life of ours.
So right now I thank my support system - those that one can see but also those that I believe are of the spiritual world. In spite of my fears right now I can feel their cloak of love covering me and beckoning me. It is really an opportunity for me to grow some more :) and I thank God, life who is giving me this opportunity even if some what I bit blunt.
