This last month I've been so busy finishing my "Dating Guide for Widows" and starting my YouTube channel for "The Sisterhood of Widows" that I got out of balance. Even though I love the work I do for widows, I wasn't balanced and because of that I lost my sense of peace and enjoyment. I started to lay awake into the early hours of the morning and I was getting stressed over things that I would normally just let roll off my back. And that my friends, is no way to live, even if you are following your passion.
But, thankfully those major projects are none; I've had some fun with friends and family, and I'm back in balance. It is so easy to get off track, but it is a journey and we often travel it without a map and create some road trips along the way.
My journey has good times and bad times but it is my journey and my responsibility. After all I only have one life to live and one journey to travel. It has taken different paths and some have been difficult, but it has made me who I am today.
You’re on your own journey with your own struggles to overcome. As you find your path look for peace, balance and enjoyment in your life because nothing else matters if you don’t have those three. No matter what responsibilities you may have, it all starts with you. You have more power inside of you than you may realize.
As you begin to recognize your own abilities and strengths, and use them to find your way, all the areas of your life will fall into place.
