Forward

My new motto as well as my State's.

As this is a blog charting growth, I just want to acknowledge that I stepped outside my box tonight. Details aren't important: What is important is that I took a change I wouldn't usually and it paid off. That's good enough for me.

Looking back on the last few months I have written on this site, I am amazed at the progress I have made. I have been growing so much & didn't even realize it. I didn't see how stagnant I was before all of this change occurred in my life. I've got a lot of people to thank, for helping me through the transition. But I believe I am doing alright without the training wheels now. I'm ready to get back on the metaphorical big kid's bike.

The ability to love immensely is a double edged sword. Things hurt worse, when you're emotional. But I've found that my ability to love has helped me recover as well. I can love myself, and I'll never be afraid to love others. So even after being burned (perhaps its what one needs to wake up once in a while), I know I'll get back in eventually. Because I'm ok now, and that's exactly where I want to be.

I can finally do what Diana asked of me, and that feels best of all.

Thank you, to all of you readers for every single comment, word of encouragement and message. You are the ones that make me want to continue this blog (and the journey, I guess. You help me see that change is good)
