It's Friday morning, 26 August 2016 and I'm sitting having breakfast at 'Portobello Cafe', Circular Quay in Sydney! The view is sensational! Nothing can top this beautiful harbour right on our doorstep. I was originally planning to have breakfast at the MCA building across the harbour however, as life does... steered me right into this wonderful little cafe, with terrific views of the coat hanger and Opera House. (The cafe name sure gave me a little chuckle too!) There's no place like home! Rockin and ready to start this next chapter in life.... Ready set GO! Before I take my marks, I'm sitting here thinking about the journey over he past 16 months and how much I've learnt. Don't get me wrong, I have a lifetime of more learning and discoveries, but I'm amazed at myself and how far I've travelled! The steps I've taken might seem easy for others, but for me... Have sometimes been very trying, difficult, sometimes like I was walking backwards and sometimes even like falling smack on my face! But I'm really proud of how far I've come! So here goes... 1. I can now sit on my own at a restaurant and thoroughly enjoy my own company. 2. I can now look at my past and enjoy and thank the memories that it served at the time. 3. I can now forgive myself for the pain I caused both myself and others. 4. I can now see my own strengths as a person and what I bring to the table. 5. I know that whatever comes my way in life... I will deal with it with truth and love. 6. I can now see that everyone is on their own journey and that we are all part of greater Source, trying to live the best way we know how. 7. I can now be in the moment and enjoy each gift life presents whether it be meeting an old friend or sitting in the sunshine. 8. I now know that no matter where I am in the world, I can make it my home and love it! 9. I do not judge the choices of others, as they too are on their own learning journey. 10. I can now see that life is full of many chapters and we never know what is coming next. Plans are great, but it's vital we live in the moment! Let life guide you! 11. I no longer worry about the opinions of others! (Very cliche I know!!! But having other people's thoughts fill your mind will eventually make a person run on empty!) 12. I can now try to take emotion out of a situation and deal with the facts. 13. I can now identify people's energy zapping (whether intentional or not) and shield myself so I'm protected. 14. I can now make a joke and smile even when the shit has hit the fan! 15. I am now brave to face the world each and every day! Life is meant to be a journey. Sometimes up and sometimes down. My list could go on further but there are some things I will hold close and dear to my heart. Each step in life is always forward not backwards, even if it appears on the outset not the best choice. It's just meant to be. Everyone has choices in life and each chapter is always according to a Divine script.
As I begin to embark on my next chapter in life, I share something very important that I try to live by. If anything, I believe that this is the most important lesson I've learnt and it is in-scripted onto my ring to remind me each and every day. It reads... 'This above all... To thine own self be true'.
