That question arises again...Why did this happen for me?

It was an interesting evening last night. So much is changing around us right now, as we await further information on where our journey is headed...and, knowing that the only constant we have in our lives is in fact change.  So in going with that flow of thought, I decided it was time to change up my website a little.  And so it began...

Not everyone you know likely has three blogs flowing from one website.  I am not everyone.  And choose to document and share different aspects of my life's journey in different ways.  It's a very long story, and I won't bore you with the details of it all at this point. 

Anyhow, in working to make those changes, put my blog areas together, and update a few things, I ended up hitting a wrong button that completely erased my ongoing 3 years Truly You 'Sharing Blog' journal.  I was devastated ...and in fact this morning, was still angry with myself for the mishap.  But as I've tried to with every event, good or bad, over the past several years,  I calmed down and asked my self "Why is this happening for me?" 

It's that constant re-framing of events that has made such a difference in my life.  
Instead of asking 'Why is this happening to me?" when things don't go according to our well orchestrated plans...I instead choose to ask, "Why is this happening for me?".  So as I have for so many, many events...I asked myself this same question this morning.

As the day progressed, wonderful things happened and came to light. 
So what are the possibilities of why this happened for me?
  • Today, after weeks of waiting for post-surgery pathology reports, my dear husband was given a clean bill of health to move forward into life with.  Maybe this unplanned deletion of past memories and experiences is a message that I too need to start over with a fresh slate to record through fresh eyes the many blessings that are ours.
  • In going through my associated sites, such as Pinterest, in an attempt to see what might have been lost...I was reminded of how much magic and pleasure I've enjoyed over the past few years.  Looking at the pictures I've been able to capture, the memories made and the quotes that highlighted some of the meaningful days in my own life...I have been reminded of how full and passionate and meaningful my day to day existence is.  Wow!
  • Being reminded that change is indeed good.  Ask any butterfly... as a caterpillar thinking that the world as they knew it is ended...they emerge as their new, beautiful self.  I think that transformational time has come for me as well.  What was served it's purpose very well. It created a space for me under the umbrella of how things were.  But today...everything is different.  Priorities have been adjusted.  What matters most has been brought back into the light.  The reality of our finite lives has been re-established.  But with that...we are here!  We have a chance today...to do more, to do better, to be our best knowing that this is what we have.  It is sacred, it is beautiful and it is perfect.

    So this evening, as I end this incredible day of downs, then ups, then leveling... I realize nothing matters more than being true to what it is that is truly me and ask...what is it that will support you to be 'truly you'?

    Truly You

    It takes time and energy to become who we truly are!  In life, so many things can get in the way of our figuring that out..but the time comes in each of our lives where we need to be able to do that if we're going to live happy fulfilling lives that are authentic reflections of our best selves.  These are just things I've learned along the way.  I hope that they might help you in your own journey into being Truly You!
