Inspirational Quote...  Whether you find yourself on a steady path or in a difficult life situation, you may new to be brave enough to try something new.  You may be afraid that you will not be adequately prepared for this new adventure, but that should not hold us back because it is ok to try something new, and sometimes, it is necessary. Trying something new in our lives may be an opportunity for growth. We may be forced to try something new due to our life situation or simply want to experience something new for fun or adventure. This "something new" could range from a job change to a travel adventure. Regardless of our situation, we have to be brave enough to be bad at something new to experience something new. In my opinion, this does not mean we will "be bad," but there is always a risk of imperfection in trying. There is no guarantee that what we venture to do will be an ultimate success. Sometimes, to be successful, you have to have some failure along the wa...

   Inspirational Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt. “You must do the things you think you cannot do.” Eleanor Roosevelt There is something about that quote that stops me every single time I read it. It is so simple. So short. And yet it has a way of looking you straight in the eye and calling you out on every excuse you have been holding onto. We all have them. The things we know we should be doing. The goals we have quietly shelved because somewhere along the way we convinced ourselves we just could not do them. Not right now. Not yet. Maybe never. But Eleanor was not interested in our excuses, and honestly, neither should we be. When I Became My Own Obstacle I will be honest with you. I have written two books, and I am slowly working on my third. I know in my heart that my story, my experience navigating divorce and grief and the slow climb back to joy, can help others who are walking that same painful road. I have lived it. I have researched it. I have written it down so that some...

  Even in the painful moments in life, don't forget to look for all the good that surrounds you.  "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." Dr. Seuss I remember this evening so well.  A chance to hold my grandchildren. Even in the confusion of life, my heart was full of such love and joy that day. Thank You God! Don't forget, even in your pain, to look for joy.   Some days you may have to look very hard to find it, but it is there. God Bless You On Your Journey! KathieyV

A Quote by the Dalai Lama...  "Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace." Dalai Lama Another way to phrase this is to not let someone else steal our peace of mind. We have all been in situations where words have been spoken or actions have been taken against us.  We have all walked away from an event or a confrontation that has rattled us to the point that it is difficult to move on without it bothering us in some way.  Sometimes, this may be so disturbing that we dwell on the occurrence, unable to move past what has cast a shadow on our peace of mind. Ways to regain our peace of mind...our inner peace... *Try to get perspective on the trigger that caused your emotion.  *Try to identify the emotion you are feeling.  Is it hurt, anger, resentment, or something else? *Acknowledge your emotions and attempt to understand why you feel like you do. *Try to stop your mind from obsessing over the situation and focus your mind on something positive. *Av...

 I found this quote online and connected with it right away.  It is very easy to run away from life when you are faced with something, not of your choosing.  It could be disease, death, or a million other things, but in my case, it was an unwanted, unnecessary divorce.  It is so easy to give up sometimes, we may feel it is our only choice.  I believe if we don't give up and keep living our lives, we can make something great happen.  We have to remember not to let fear guide us but to let God guide us. We can do this! KathieyV

  I love the thought of being able to help others.  I have found in my lifetime that there are many organizations you can get involved with that reach out to help those in need.  Organizations often need you to be physically present, and at other times, they need donations to assist those in need.  All ways in which people reach out to help others are important.  One of the best ways for most of us to help those in need is to help those we come across in our day-to-day lives.  A neighbor who needs a helping hand, local charities, or a person you may come across that just needs someone to take the time to listen.   I think we need to keep our eyes open to every opportunity to help those around us.  Sometimes the need may be monetary, but many times it may be as simple as a hug to make someone's day.  Also, be aware that it is ok if you are the one in need.  Many times, when I was feeling down, the help would have come in the simplicity of...

Each week I hope to share a quote with you.  Some will be inspirational, some heartfelt, some deep,  but all will give you something to think about. All of us will experience trauma on some level in our lives.  It may be physical, emotional, or both, but either way, we can come out on the other side of such trauma.   I agree with the quote by Carl Jung, for the most part.  I guess it depends on how much damage has been done as to how fast and if we can "choose" what we become.  That being said, I think no matter what the pain in our life has been that we need to fight for what we "choose to become" and what we can become...hopefully we can become our best selves in lieu of our circumstances. For some, after a major trauma, it will take baby steps.  Just the choice to take that baby step can lead us closer to what we want to become.  In a sense, we are, at least in part, what happened to us.  We have been damaged in some way, which has changed...

 I found I could relate to this quote by Aristotle.  My divorce was the darkest time in my life.  The only way I could begin to see even a flicker of light was when I put my faith, my hope, and my fears in God's hands.   If you are on this journey, I hope you are able to see a light.  If not, keep looking, and you will because even though it may seem hidden, it is there. God Bless You! KathieyV

When going through divorce your entire life changes.  Some of these changes create some very large obstacles that we may not know how to handle.  Don't give up.  Push on to overcome the obstacles placed before you.  Have faith, take a deep breath, and press on. God Bless You On Your Journey! KathieyV  

I am going to try to do just that! KathieyV
