Well, here we are. Another year. A new year. A year for new.
Since my last post I have been thinking about choices.
You know. The things we do all day. Sometimes we put off choices until we gather more information. Sometimes we make them without thinking.
Today you have a choice.
If you find yourself in a difficult situation, one in which you have to make a choice; maybe a really big choice, take your time to make the right choice.
Even in the middle of the crazy, scary, anxiety producing act of leaving my husband I have worked hard to make right choices.
I am not saying you cannot process and grieve. Or make time for feeling and just being. But there is a time to CHOOSE.
You have the power to choose how you respond;
It's sometimes lonely. And scary. And the way seems hopeless.
Press on. Continue to make choices to be safe physically and emotionally. Continue to ask for and receive help. Continue to choose life. Every day.
We cannot help but accept the situation we find ourselves in. But we can change how we see our circumstance. Is it a challenge? Or is it a breaking point? Will you rise up and fly? Or will you flounder and fail? The choice is up to you.
In the midst of the storm we have to make choices. Choices we must make to continue to move forward toward healing.
What will you choose?

You have the power to choose how you respond;
- To the people around you who will criticize and condemn you
- To the friends who have or will betray you
- To your partner who hurt you
- To yourself
- To your family
- To your children
- To life
