New Normal

I didn't realize that it had been so long since I had posted anything.  Time flies!!

I have been busy recovering and trying to get my life back on track.  I am slowly getting there.  I take big leaps and then a few steps back.  I discovered a few months ago that my work within the Sisterhood revealed something that we all know but none of us really think about.

When we have life altering events happen in our lives we sit and wait for things to get back to "normal" - they never really do, do they?  Why is that?  Well for me it was an eye opening experience to have Goddess speak directly to me and tell me "This is your new normal."

You see we have a preconceived notion that things will go back to what they were but how can they?  We don't go back to where we were.  We never go back so we have to learn to adjust.  We adjust to the reality that we are living in - our new normal.

When someone dies or we go through a divorce or the list goes on and on we keep thinking that things will come to an even keel eventually and then we can move. When in reality we are already moving on.  We don't have a choice in the matter really but the sooner we realize that we have truly walked into a new normal the sooner we move forward.

So although we may find that we don't necessarily like where we are at the moment learning to accept it helps us move into a new place that we can embrace.  I am accepting my new normal.  I am moving forward.  As hard as it is to know I will never be able to hug my dad again, tell him I love him, I also know that he would not want me to stay in the dark place of hurt and missing.  He would want me to embrace my new normal!  I know he is still near just in a different form.  I will see him again some day but in the mean time I choose to move into my new normal and embrace what time I have left on this earth!

So what does your new normal look like?

Many Blessings,
