This is something I heard quite a few times this weekend. More so being said by someone close to me. Must be their subtle way of saying it's time to move on. I couldn't agree more. I am who I am and refuse to live by someone else's standards. We all make mistakes in life, some we learn from and some we don't until it bangs us in the head time and time again. I, on the other hand, have awoken to a realization that no matter what you do in life, chances need to be taken. Life is too short to sit and wait for something to happen. I am a firm believer in following your instincts. They have never steered me wrong. I am in a place in my life where things are calm and serene. I take everyday as it comes and hold no expectations. I believe everything happens for a reason and therefore have no regrets about the decisions I make in my life. I don't need anyones approval but my own and it feels great!
There have been many times when I have made decisions or done things in my life because someone else thought it was right but then I always had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that even though they thought it was right for me, I didn't feel it was. I suffered the consequences in the end, not them. Maybe my not wanting to be the opposer or party pooper have led me to these decisions but nonetheless, they were my doing. Maybe I am not being clear right now with what it is I am trying to express and that is fine. I don't care. If I don't feel like correcting myself, that is fine also. Why? Because it is my decision not to correct it. It is my decision to not be correct in how I right. Those who don't like it can go somewhere else.
My living my life to suit someone else is over. I am finally living my life for me and it feels great!!
So to those who don't agree with me or don't have my back anymore because I decide to do things my way I say this "Out with the Old, and In with the New"...... Turning a new leaf has never felt more right than now.
Adios!

Judie,
I didn't know you had a blog! You are a great writer. You are so right about out with the old. I am trying to get some "new" in my life. I hope it works!
Thank you mama!!! I love writing, I just don't have the time to do it as often as I would like. Thank you so much though for coming by. I have been wanting to write a novel based on my life but have no direction as to how to start, this is why the retreat meant so much. I actually thought we were gonna talk about writing...lol. Oh well. Until then, enjoy!
