Life is made up of tiny, little opportunistic gems that are given to us to take and make our own. Deaths, break-ups, jobs, broken finger nails, botched haircuts — just ab0ut anything that seems like the most devastating thing in the world (at the time) is actually life’s way of shining new light on a new path that provides you with the chance to do whatever you want from there…

Life has not always been easy for me, but I guess it comes with the territory of being a combination of very outspoken and open emotionally. For me, when life got hard recently, I fell into the lap of Reiki, and that has changed my life. I also started painting and writing and for the first time I am starting to look at those activities as more than just creative outlets, maybe there is a future there for me.

I guess what I am trying to say is that as heartbreaking as the hardest things you encounter may be, there really always is a silver lining (however small or hard to see as it may be). I want my life to be about taking advantage of each silver lining I come in contact with and using that moment to create new lives and new paths for myself that will make me a better, happier and more fulfilled person.
