New Beginnings

Today I turned 29. I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself and felt a shift. A shift in time and understanding. It hit deeper and clearer than ever before. I realized that this is who I am… and who I was meant to be. All the years of working, improving, goal charting, adventures, challenges, heart breaks, lost loves, and loves gained… the result was ME… just simple glorious me. This ultimate person I have continually strived to be was already there. I’ve always thought there was this ultimate version of Rosie inside of me. That when I find her, refine her, or create her… happiness, love, and life would finally be what I envisioned/wanted/or dreamed of. But the full sum of me is the sum of something already great. This ultimate person was standing there staring right back at me. Somehow along the way she came to be. All my goals and dreams which I was too scared to hope for were within my reach. I saw a small glimpse of my own inestimable future. I saw ME. Me as an adult.

Today is a start of new beginnings... I realized more than ever that I am limitless. I can truly be all I came here to be despite the sandy patches of life. I have been touched by so many incredible people along this journey of life. Many have come and gone… some have stayed and been an anchor in this ever changing world. These people are you. Those who have touched, guided, inspired, lifted, and cried with me on the rocky and smooth patches of life. I could never be the daughter of God I am today without each of you. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for each of you. You have brought such happiness to my life… you are the crowning blessing of my time on this earth. I am beyond blessed by you… by your lives, your examples, and your support. There are no words… only tears of gratitude to express my love for you. Thank you for touching my life! My heart is full because of you.

This journey of life is too short not to experience it with those you love. I would like to share it with each of you. This little space in the cyber world is where I would like to be part of your life through thoughts of inspiration, stories of hope, and the adventures/lessons life has to offer. I hope they will touch your life as much as they have touched mine. Please share/post your thoughts, inspiration, and life experiences with me. I would love to keep each of you close to my heart.

Love your,

Rosie
