Have you ever had something slap you in the face? Not really slap you I suppose, but figuratively slap you in the face?
.
I think I was slapped in the face a few times this week. I was shocked and amazed at things that were set into motion months and years ago that have suddenly begun to make sense in my life. It has been so amazing to watch things unfold and realize how blessed and how oblivious I have been to the amazing things happening to and around me.
.
I know, with no doubt, that I am loved. Loved! How dumb it sounds, but believe me, it is amazing and true. I am so completely sure.
.
I know that while my family is having some large issues at the moment, that it will work out. That in time, my siblings will talk to me again, my parents will talk to me again, and I will know that they love me, not just hope that they do. I know it.
.
I know that while all the heartbreak and tears of past boyfriends was worth it. I see how those experiences, good and bad, shaped me and helped me become the woman I am. I see how I am suddenly more sure of myself and what I want than I have been because I know what I have had in the past. I know that my future is bright and will be all that I hoped for, and, amazingly more!
.
I know that while I struggled this year, that I would do every moment of it again. I would take every tear and frustration and do it again to be where I am right now. How grateful I am for not knowing that I would end up here and just having faith that somehow, someday it would all work out. And now as I see it coming together, I am so in awe and so willing to do it again.
.
Watch out my friends, for you are about to see the butterfly emerge. And it is going to be amazing!

Slapped in the face... no, what is that?!?! So, yeah, it has happened to me on more than one occasion. Sometimes it hurts worse than the real thing.
Hopes comment is so true!
I hate that tire screeching feeling. And then it takes you a minute to catch your breath. YIKES!
I love that pic of you Nikki!
Searched the web and bumped into another seeker becoming a "Leading Lady of My Own Life". Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Em! I liked it too. :)
And yes they can hurt like nothing else, but sometimes they can be good slaps too...and I had some of both this week. :)
