Gosh, if there is one thing I have learned that has truly resonated with me this year is that forgiveness never comes easy ~ but it comes. Just takes a little time, lots of patience and faith!
One of my readers left a very nice comment the other day and asked what I will Blog about now that I have closed the door to all of the bitterness and ugliness of 2010 and swung WIDE open the door to 2011. A year to be filled with many Blessings, new challenges and all of the good God has intended for me.
Well, let me just take a step back and first say that I am thankful for those bad times. Quite honestly, without them, how would I have learned what it really means to forgive? I have not forgotten, I have dealt with it and put it in it's place. Holding onto it will get me no where fast.
No one can bring you down faster or easier than you and I have no desire to be the torch bearer for hatred, anger or bitterness. Instead, I chose to break the cycle and be the change. I look ahead with a new found sense of freedom that can only come from the release of all of that garbage ~ and believe me, there has been a ton of it.
Who cares what anyone thinks of me? I am staying positive even though negativity can come from some unexpected places... I forgive and continue to surround myself with positive people who have like me, came through the storm and made it out.
I am WOMAN ~ Hear me ROAR! I am a survivor ~ watch out world, here I come. I am a Child of God. Knock me down, I WILL get back up! For you see, I do have faith and that faith has carried me through the darkness. No matter what anyone thinks or says, I remain strong and Life does go on.
So what is there left for me to talk about now? Well, unfortunately the world is still full of hurt, angst ridden and angry people. I am simply an instrument to help inspire others who are going through hell. They need to know that they too can make it from the darkness into the light ~ I did! With trust, faith and inspiration anything is possible!
That is it. That is my "Claim to Fame" ~ to do my part and just help. Sharing my story was only the beginning...Let's see where this leads us. Just My Two Cents...

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteLet me just say first I adore you. You are truly an inspiration to other women. My sister was just telling me last week, how sometimes we can not get out a situation because we wholly in it. Well, you have proven her wrong and life does go on. Your children are beautiful and I must admit my 2 little ones keep me encourage too. I wish you all the success and will be following you on a couple of your links, because I am excited about what the future holds for you. You keep doing what you are doing and watch how many lives you will touch.
Best Wishes~
