At 28, I learned that I have matured and grown to enjoy my adult life. It was a good year looking back from my childhood upbringing and college years. I took time to rebuild my innerself and strengthen my character. Today, I am not lost, I truly believe that I have found a new beginnning and left the past behind.

Today, I will remember how powerful I am
Today, I will remember that I am protected, guided, and illuminated by the divine presence in my being
Today, I will remember the number of times I have been sheltered by the storm
Today, I will remember that I have been forgiven when I was unable or unwilling to forgive myself
Today, I will thank the Divine for mercy, grace, and goodness that gives me the FREEDOM to be and grow and live the glory of my divinity
For this I am!
And So It Is!

"So many roads, so many detours, so many choices, so many mistakes. As we drive along this road we call life occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens I guess she has to let go of the coulda, woulda, shoulda, buckle-up and just keep going. As we speed along this endless road to the destination of who we hope to be, I can't help but whine....Are we there yet?"
