As we navigate the changing landscape of our lives, tossed about by the onset of divorce, it is hard to consider a promising future. I was living in such a season of struggle that I could neither imagine the pain ending nor to embrace the possibilities of a better life. Wrought with uncertainty, my future held only dangers, demons and disappointments; all my what if’s ended with pain, upset and hardship. BUT, what if…
Your broken heart opens old childhood wounds enabling you to finally heal and make way for new, healthier love in your life.
- The additional untimely loss of your job closes a door that, out of fear or denial, you could not
close and opens a new opportunity that is beautifully in line with your passions and talents. - The fears that are stopping you dead in your tracks lead you to a new level of self-confidence and strength.
- The painful betrayal of your spouse illuminates the brokenness in your marriage and the sacrifices you took, enabling you to honestly see your denial and lack of boundaries and begin to create healthier ways of relating.
- The loss of your home and stature is the very thing that brings you to appreciate those aspects of life that cannot be bought.
- The long and painful absence of your child is the poignant lesson that draws you all the closer when you reunite in deep appreciation for each other.
- Your greatest fears pushed you to see what you were capable of and to exceed your wildest dreams as your craft your new life
- The need to downsize your house opens the opportunity for a new home filled with love and peace and simplicity
- Your loneliness drives you to meet and connect with new friends that share your values and embrace whom you truly are
- What if this season of seeming devastation is non other than the severe labor pains that come before the birth of something beautiful and divine.
Our trials and tribulations, our devastations and disappointments can be seen as gifts of personal reflection and growth, should we choose to accept them as such. When we are open to the possibility that something even more wonderful can grow out of the ashes of our broken dreams, we throw open the door to reach our full potential and create a life we are completely in love with.
“When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.” – Alexander Graham Bell
