Seeds of Growth Through Change

 

In 2023, I cried because illness flipped my reality upside down.  The tears watered all the seeds that were planted in the ground in front of me.  In 2024, I wrapped my arms around my health and continued to heal from mental and physical struggles.  I sat quietly while I watched my little seeds start to grow.  And as I look forward to 2025, I have unending hope for the new year ahead.  I will take one day at a time knowing that my little seeds from the past 2 years have the possibility to grow into a beautiful plant.


As I look at the image at the top of this post, I am reminded that every tear I cried has watered a seed that will grow into something beautiful.  Life has been a rollercoaster of emotions for myself and my family over the last 2 years.  It has brought struggles of illness and yet many glimpses of hope.  And every single moment has prepared me for the next stage in life.  

I recently read an article that explained, "maybe your path feels harder because your calling is higher than you could ever imagine".  Sometimes when I look back on the past, I feel like my path has been very challenging.  But when I look towards the future, I always remain encouraged that I have a purpose beyond what I could ever believe imaginable.  For example, I feel strongly that through written words, we can be united in the journey of life.  This is why I feel so strongly about writing my blog and sharing my story with others.  

My hope for you is that each day you are finding your own path through this world.  I know the deepest feeling of dark tears as they fall out of your eyes and roll onto your face.  And I also feel strongly that each tear can water a seed to one day grow a meadow of flowers more beautiful than any of us could ever imagine.  I remain encouraged through tough times knowing that light is on the other side.  And my hope is that you will know peace within the confines of the present moment looking forward to a brilliantly bright future.
