Resurecting the blog

I've decided to resurect this blog, rather than start a new one. The name still resonates with me....moving forward, with intention. I'll be sharing thoughts, metaphors and stories….that ponder moving forward in my life, with intention.

A couple of months ago I was given a gift. I didn’t like how the gift was wrapped and I don’t know how that gift will serve me over time; my preference would have been not to have the gift given to me. I am glad I was given the gift rather than someone else who would have been in a much more dire personal outlook.

I am ok with the gift, and I choose to live immersed in positivity and possibility. And, apparently, I have something to learn and experience throughout my days.

I expect to continue to be positive and live in possibility. I expect the future to be awesome.

I am believing in those words. I am stating those expectations. ‘Putting it out there’ as people say.

Words are powerful.
I look back and realize I’d been asking for new challenges. Now, I’m in the middle of challenges, and am expecting new challenges to help me grow.
Maybe I should have been more specific. Be careful what you ask for.

I can recall one instance of a fleeting thought that came true years later. I was visiting a friend in her apartment, overlooking a park. Nicely kept, old with wood floors and trim. The fleeting thought was “It would be neat to live there.” A few years later, there I was subleasing one of the apartments in that building. Circumstances, not of my choice, changed my living situation.

Hmmm….the power of words and thoughts.

I will share my thoughts, metaphors and stories of my experience, sharing my lessons I am learning through this gift given to me.

My Lesson: Words are powerful.

What do learn from my thoughts/metaphor/story?
