Amazing Clarity


The last three months have been crazy to say the least. They have been the most difficult of my life and in so many ways, the most rewarding. With adversity, we truly find out what we are capable of and who we are. I am proud of the fact that while heartbroken, I refuse to dwell in yesterday, the "coulda- shouldas," or bitterness. I am a women who is great at loving. I gave it my all, but love is one area of life where our own merit or contribution isnt the only deciding factor. In this case, we loved each other immensely. I felt that love everyday. We had the kind of love that builds each other up, but sometimes even the greatest of loves cant change what a person wants and we wanted different things.
This book is in no way me holding on to future that is no longer mine, but rather to
honor the amazing lessons I have learned about love and the unpredictable nature of life.

I am in a much better place after making this book. It feels great to be able to say that I am thankful for what I have had and I am am also thankful that I don't always get what I thought I had wanted.
