Day 1,060 – Finding Joy in the Journey – Monday – 9/28/2020
I wish I Could Show You
I wish I could show you what is on my computer screen! I am working on a special project that I am extremely excited about. As I look to the future, I know 2021 is going to be an amazing year! Over the past several years, I have followed my intuition and I’ve had the blessing of seeing things that others could not yet see.
When I was in my early 20’s I was good at listening to my intuition. In my late 20’s and throughout my 30’s I allowed my doubt to creep in and started believing in other opinions more than I should have. Sometimes, I listened to their intuition more than mine. Many times, I was trying to please other people instead of myself and in the process stopped trusting myself.
Since turning 40, this is something I have learned to take back control of – trusting my gut/my intuition. Our lives are ours to live. We can lean into our greatness when we blaze our path based on our intuition instead of trying to please others and follow their path for our life.
I’m so happy where I am today. I am excited about what is happening. Stay tuned…. awesome things are coming!
About “Finding Joy”
And I’m off…. the 16-day adventure begins. The timing of this trip is interesting so I’m naming it “Finding Joy in the Journey.” I’ll be doing one dedicated post each day (at the end of the day or next morning). Since I typically post more than once a day, you’ll find it as a black and white photo. I’ll share the joy of the journey (on the trip or through this season), where I’m finding it and what I’m learning. I hope to inspire myself along the way. And if I can inspire others too, that would be a gift. So let the journey begin…
It was November 2017 and I was ready to head off on a sixteen-day trip. Nine days before leaving, my mom unexpectedly passed away from a heart attack. It shook me to my core. I had always been told the 40’s are the best years of your life. And in a matter of three years, since turning the age of 40, I had gone through a divorce and lost both parents.
I contemplated canceling the trip though I knew my mom would not be happy with that decision. She would want me to continue living my life. My parents did not raise me to sit back and watch life; instead to fully participate in every moment. So I promised my parents to find joy in the journey everyday on my sixteen-day trip and share my experience with others.
Little did I know what “Finding the Joy in the Journey” would turn into when I acted on the prompting to share my experience on a daily basis. It helped me see life differently and my wish is that it will inspire others find joy in their journey.
