New Beginnings

New beginnings come to us in so many ways.

New beginnings can come out of gain - such as an inheritance, a lottery win or a new job
New beginnings can come out of loss - such as a marriage falling apart, a family broken, a death
New beginnings can come out of help - such as surgery paid for by OHIP, someone reaching out and providing an emotional connection, a child holding you tight in your sorrow
New beginnings can come out of emotions - emotions withheld, emotions reclaimed, anger, sorrow, joy
New beginnings can be frightening - fear of the unknown, fear of success, fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of hurt - being hurt and hurting
New beginnings can be exciting - lives reclaimed, doors opened, dreams revived

My life is on the verge of new beginnings.

I am scared, sad, happy, excited. It will be interesting to see where my path leads me over the next 12 months. All indications are that it's going to be quite the ride. I hope I have the strength to protect and nourish my daughter so that through the ride and through the changes she maintains her sense of security and her wonderful sense of self. Together we will embrace the new beginnings that come our way. No matter how they cross our paths.

  • Thanks for your note!

    The sheer fact that you are event remotely concerned about your daughter, leads me to beleive you will be fine! You will transform yourself into the role model you only dreamed you could be fore her.

    And it is a wild ride... a wild ride indeed.
