When Life Throws a Curve Ball…

10:30 pm Blog

 

Boy, how life can throw a curve ball at us, eh?  One day you’re going through life happy and healthy.  Next thing you know your world is turned upside down and inside out by unexpected changes such as stock market crashes, health challenges and cheating spouses. 

It’s rare the person who escapes them.  My biggest curve ball came when I found myself blindsided with dual diagnosis’ of breast cancer and Multiple Sclerosis within 24 hours many years ago.   Fast forward to today and here I am with my career, my new website, my new focus and direction and then it happens again. After 11 years have passed, I recently had to undergo surgery to prevent ovarian cancer this time.  

There we go again….challenges.  This blog that I am posting was intended to start months ago, but has laid idle waiting for my recovery.  Instead of wallowing in the circumstances, I always seek the gifts within the problem to help me get through it. 

And my gift in all of this mess of recovery was an opportunity to sit still (something I rarely do) and look within to find more insight into what really matters at this point in my life.  What’s really important to me, all the while seeking gratitude for all that is right.

And so my point in all of this is that we all face challenges…bumps in the road.  Looking at those challenges as opportunities for growth can help ease the pain and suffering of whatever you are facing.  You’ll never know what gifts may come from your divorce unless you stop to look within.  Remember, this too shall pass…

Wishing you blessings and good health,

Lisa
