A New Life

We are at week 40 and nine months in, so I thought A New Life would be a good title for this blog. It also happens to be the time I have started a new job and after bouncing around for the past few months, finally found a place to call home. I never imagined how long it would take me to get settled, and I mean really settled. I spent thirty years in Florida, so finding my fit here and my peeps outside of my peeps and a place to work and a place to live that I can call home has been a struggle. A good struggle, but still a challenge. I moved back up north two years ago this month, and this week saying I am beginning a new life again seems like an understatement. New job and new home in the same week can seem a little overwhelming, but I asked for change, and I got it. I have used the new life analogy before when referring to the changes I have been making the past few years. It takes nine months to create a new life, and the steps for major changes I have been making for myself seem to be in nine-month increments. Crazy how that works out … or is it lol. You know by now that I believe everything happens for a reason, there are no coincidences, and there is a Divine plan and timing set in place for all of us.

When I first began writing this blog nine months ago, I mentioned that I was excited to see where this next year would take me. The changes have been incredible, and I can tell that everything I give out in my blog I do get back. I share information every week in the hopes that it will help all of you, and then in turn I have been receiving information from others that help me too. The cycle of getting back what you put out is amazing when you can see it in play. I have seen signs all the time that we are all connected and never really alone, which does help me in the times of change when I do feel very alone. I do believe that certain experiences we must go through alone because those are where the hard lessons lie. The Universe keeps us isolated, so we are only relying on ourselves. The distractions and people we rely on are taken away so that we have no distractions and are forced to learn what we came here to learn and experience. It is a hard pill to swallow sometimes when you are knee deep in it, but seeing the signs and synchronicities around does make it easier to handle.

I have mentioned before that I know I spend way too much time taking photos of the sky, but it is something I love to do. It started out as something I did for a friend when I first moved here two years ago to show him how much I loved being here and is something that just stuck and I still do it almost every day. The photo I used for this week’s blog I took the other day while moving into my new place. I see it as the most beautiful sign that we are never alone and there is love and light all around us. I can’t explain what is on the other side, and there is no proof that angels and guides exist, but on more than one occasion I have caught it on film and reminds me to quiet my doubts and have faith. You would think after a lifetime of having experiences like this that are considered out of the ordinary, I would never have any doubts – but I still do. The normalcy of living a physical life sometimes can cloud over the spiritual part of life that I rely on to get by. Sometimes they contradict each other and that is where you learn to trust your intuition and what you know to be true. The other day while trying to catch the sky and the sun through my blinds I was reminded of the beauty around us and to stay strong in my beliefs and to keep going. Keep being a good person when times are tough, stay strong through the hard times and remember that there is a bigger plan in place even though I can’t see it. Trust and faith must be what I rely on to get me through when I am on my own and have no idea where I am going. The most important thing is to just show up every day knowing there is a force outside of myself that always has my back.

I know that many of you are going through the same changes as I am right now (yes, another sign we are all connected). Change can be scary, but new jobs, new places to live, new relationships, these are all the best parts of life. We may be releasing parts of our past but move forward knowing it’s ok. Detach in love and be grateful for the people and the experiences and what they taught you. Everyone who we encounter is a teacher. They teach us what we love and don’t love about our situations and about ourselves, and we learn to change. We are guided to be better, to do better. They say that life isn’t about time, but about the lessons learned. We can start a new life over and over again until we get it right. We listen for guidance knowing it is out there for us. The past and all the experiences, both good and bad, are who we are. We embrace the journey, we embrace the healing, and we move forward knowing the best is yet to come.


In love and light,

Fran
