Sometimes life brings us changes we don’t see coming…illness, death, a job loss. It can change our lives in an instant. It shocks us by closing the door to the old familiar pathways and forces us to lighten and release old patterns and coping ways we’ve grown accustomed to that no longer work. These are the times that grow our soul and expand our patience levels to new heights. It invites us to release deep fear, grief, disappointment, and hurt that holds us stuck, and begins to free things up in our lives. It forces us to look at the old stories we tell ourselves about not being able to do it, deserve it, or receive it, and slowly welcomes in a new path that begins to transform and heal old wounds and bring new gifts and learnings we didn’t even know were possible!
