Gratitude and Grace

For those of you who have wondered why I'm not posting lately, it's because I'm waiting for the right time to move forward. In every major decision of my life, I have waited for the day I wake up & know within every fiber of my being that it's time. I feel clear, focused, and do what I'm led to do. When I take action after that day happens, everything goes smoothly & quickly.

I'm grateful for the fabulous things happening in my life while I am waiting....

I'm grateful that I'm wrapping up work at one client and looking forward to the opportunities I will have with the time that will be available.

I'm grateful for friends who know me and know why I'm waiting for the right time to start the adoption process again. A couple of weeks ago I spent a day in silence. I completed a labyrinth and spent time in a meditation chapel & healing garden. When you spend that much time in silence, you truly do hear what you're intended to hear.

I'm grateful that my future children will know how much I love them. I'm grateful that they will understand why I chose to ensure my business is stable & secure before adding additional responsibility. As a single mom, it is vital that I am prepared financially for their arrival. After all, once they are here, they are my family forever!

I'm also demonstrating grace with people who either choose not to understand or who are ignorant of what single motherhood involves. I know that my life will be turned upside down once I have children. I'm looking forward to those changes even while I'm also scared witless.

Until my children are with me, I am going to go where I want, do what I want, and live as I want with joy, happiness, contentment, and excitement. After my children are with me, WE will go where we want, do what we want, and live as we want with joy, happiness, contentment, and excitement.
