It has been many years since I stumbled across this blog and posted. I don't really know if it's worth it to keep my thoughts here or not. No one will read them.
Well, not now anyhow.
But, isn't that what the light is about? It's about taking a look at highlights, so I'll give you a few big ones.
My life is so different than when I last posted here. I was divorced in 2016, met a new guy and fell in love in 2017, struggled with figuring out my life in 2018, left my long-term job in 2019, started a physical part-time warehouse job in 2019, began another part-time job in 2020, survived a worldwide pandemic in our home and got vaccinated regularly in 2020 and 2021. I left the warehouse job and my other part-time job and stepped into a new full-time gig with a payments processing software company. I am still at that company and I actually really like my job for the most part. Post-pandemic I mostly get to work from home, but seeing my co-workers in the office space at least once a week is good for my extroverted psyche.
That guy I fell in love with in 2017 asked me to marry him in 2020 - and we're finally going to tie the knot next month - September 2023. Yay!
I look back at the past five years and realize how much life has been lived. I made space for the important things and let go of the toxic and uncomfortable things. The transition has been amazing, and my spiritual life is just as fulfilling and beautiful. The deep dark parts of my soul are still there, and the joyful enlightened parts are as well.
I'm not saying that my life is perfect, because it's not. But, it's really good. Really, REALLY, good. I have learned to trust and step out in places I haven't before. And, to me, that's what life is about. Live the lives we've been entrusted with. Don't just let them pass us by. Grow, learn, step out on faith, try something, and take a risk. It doesn't have to be a big deal. But, take one step at a time.
