My life is shifting and I know something is happening. I may not understand it, but I know it. I know it within myself and I know it with everything around me.

A part of me feels like, “Wow! What’s happening?” with an excited smile on my face because I know there’s a direction of where my life is going. And another part of me feels like, “Woe! What’s happening?” with eyes open wide as I am feeling almost unrecognizable to myself.

I’ve been realizing over the past few weeks that the “story” I’ve grown accustomed to carrying around with me no longer suits me. Yet, I hold onto it because it’s familiar.

It’s like still wearing baggy suits when they no longer fit, yet you hold onto wearing them because that’s all you know and it’s all you have in your wardrobe.

I look at my body and I know it’s changing. There are times when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I’m noticing something different…a bone here, a muscle there, a sense of definition on my leg or arms. These are glimpses of the physical transformation that’s happening right before my very eyes.

My faith journey has changed. During a time in my life when I felt “lost and broken” at the destruction of my marriage, I am now finding myself in a new role where I am a catalyst or a bridge for the “lost and broken”…a bridge to love, healing and empowerment. I’ve been called a Healer and a Counselor and this is where my essence of wisdom, warmth and trust come alive. I never thought I knew enough, was good enough or smart enough to be in this role. And I am now clear on my purpose, my calling and my gifts for this world. I realized what I had to learn and go through in order to rise and serve in this vehicle. Yes, I feel like I have risen and my resurrection is now coming to pass.

I am on the road to financial health and wellness. For years, I was going in the opposite direction, sinking deeper and deeper into a hole of financial ruin where I saw no way out and was ready to just give up on everything, declare bankruptcy or just let go of all my possessions and become a “homeless, reckless bag lady.” However, just when you are about to quit is when things start turning around. And now I am thankful to have learned about financial responsibility over the years, although the journey has been long and arduous. I see a new direction for me and my dreams of obtaining financial freedom is about to become a reality.

My career aspirations are coming into fruition. I’ve admired the greatest of motivational speakers and mentors…John C. Maxwell, Anthony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale and so many others. From times in my life where I thought I wasn’t equipped to do any kind of transformational work whatsoever, here I am today being a Coach and Leader, in my community and in my church.

After years of keeping things to myself, not sharing my life or sharing who I am with those closest to me in my every day life, I find myself sharing and opening up more among family and friends. And I’ve learned that I can be open, honest, safe, vulnerable…and still be loved for not being “perfect.”

So, what’s next? Does all this self-reflection scare the heck out of me? Yes! The fear is certainly there. And I can acknowledge it.

Am I ready to come from a different place and take on possibility…and my next breakthrough for these upcoming months? Yes!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

This is a passage that has carried me through, especially during my darkest moments. And now I have a new passage, one that allows me to sing a new song.

“Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.” –Psalm 37:4

These days, I am filled with passion, joy and so much love. My life is shifting and although my fears and worries often linger, they no longer run the show.

I don’t have to know everything. And I may not know exactly what’s happening. However, I continue to trust in the process of transformational work. Because these days I look at my self-reflection and what I see reflecting back at me is a woman with power, purpose and passion. And I am learning to own this and carry “this story,” in place of the old one. It’s the one that’s now starting to fit me best. And pretty soon, I will be wearing a whole new wardrobe that suits me, one that reflects what I’ve only just imagined I’d create…one that reflects my possibility of lifestyle, dreams and service.
