Hello friends. Getting back into the swing of things. Being more spontaneous, less worry, and more writing about the best of what matters to us. Not so easily said. You know what I mean. So, how do we know when moving forward feels right?

A Bit of Inspiraton!
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
So, how do we know when moving forward feels right?
I’ve heard it said that we waist so much time overthinking things, not listening to ourselves when moving forward feels right. Yes, planning is good, and moving forward is even better. Even when we are unsure or stuck. This “stuckness” (a new word!!!), for me, is melting away. And it feels so fresh…free. And we know that moving for forward feels right when we take tht time to reflect. Be still and listen to our intuition.
When moving forward feels right?
What, you ask, causes this “stuckness”? I know for me and from some of my readers, it means not acting on the things that matter the most. Partly because we are uncertain about how to make things perfect. Or how to please everyone, how to look cool and intelligent all the time. What a TRAP!
So, I took my own advise and am sharing it with you all. It’s the right time to post this letter. I realized that moving forward matters… Staying too long in one place and using excuses to not do the things you love. This post is incredibly special. Not just any post, not only becoming “unstuck”, but reconnecting with you!
