Although my journey has just begun along the path of self discovery I feel a sense of calm in my soul. I am at peace with myself and my racing thoughts are now behind me. I am almost complete. A sense of order has returned to my life. I feel happier than I have been in a long time. Only time will tell if my marriage will last much longer. Will he and I remain friends? Will we live in the same house? Will I leave the marriage? The answers will come with time. And I am patient to let them come when they will. I know that it would not be easy. And feelings will likely get hurt. But sometimes the heart needs to break before it can heal and open itself to a world of love and appreciation. I am grateful that all of you are here to join me on this journey and I hope that our paths will all lead to happiness.
Beautifully said! I'm so happy to read that you are in a peaceful, accepting place. Keep following your heart and the answers will come! I hope to feel inspired myself again sometime soon. This has been such a rollercoaster.
"But sometimes the heart needs to break before it can heal and open itself to a world of love and appreciation." So very true. Have you read the book Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Heal? It's about this exact idea. Sometimes we need the fire before we can become the Phoenix.
