Looking over the precipice

I've read it somewhere, or perhaps heard it from someone, I'm not sure...but it doesn't matter, what matters is that I understand it now..."Human beings change when there is no other choice, when their survival depends on it".

As a human being I know that most of us have a hard time accepting change, we get used to our ways and when it's time to evolve, we resist it. Some of us may survive for a brief period of time without evolving, but eventually, if we don't change, we die.
Resistance to change is useless, pointless and just a waste of energy. If we understand this fact and accept change in our lives, accept that nothing stays still and everything is moving beyond our control, we are free...really free.

I didn't want to accept change, I was afraid. It wasn't until the earth shook under my feet, until I was at the very edge, so near the precipice that I knew I had to change my direction or risk falling... that's when I surrendered to change. That's what had to happen for me to understand and finally accept that there is more out there if I just let go of my old beliefs, old ways and listen to my heart, I mean really listen to it.

And... to you I say this: I willingly give you my love and hope it will help heal your wounds, I pray for it every day. We are even, two broken hearts that once upon a time beat as one. Be strong, be true, and remember: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

Del otro lado del charco

Ya estoy en mi partecita del mundo, lista para lo que viene.

El año que acaba de pasar ha sido un año de grandes transformaciones. Me lancé a la aventura de vivir en Europa y me fue muy bien. Un escalón que me costó subir pero que ahora me ha acercado un poco más a mis sueños.

Regreso a ver a mi familia, a los amigos, a los highschool sweethearts y a mi tierra adorada. Todo eso que me da fuerza para seguir adelante, para empezar de nuevo, para seguir fascinada con la vida.

Los primeros días de este regreso han sido medio agridulces, pero las cosas pintan bien y el amor sigue presente en mi vida, me busca y me encuentra, siempre.

¿Qué viene ahora? Todo lo bueno que la vida tiene que ofrecer y más. De momento, viviré en el presente y esperaré con ilusión el mañana.
