Unexpected Change


Sometimes things happen in our lives that are completely out of our control. Suddenly a road can appear out of nowhere with a big sign that says "you must turn here". This road showed up on my path a little over a month ago and changed my life, yet again, towards a new direction.

I had to make the choice of taking a safer path than I had been on; one that would offer me shelter while I weathered out my personal storm. So I moved out of my dearly loved little house in Colorado to big basement apartment in my friends home in Arizona. Fortunately, my friend is my soul mate and the town where I now live is not too much different from the one I left.

Living with a friend who has shared a lifetime with me is a blessing from God. It has brought peace to my soul and guidance to my life, both of which were greatly needed. I still feel a strong connection to Colorado, but life here offers me more spiritual growth and a better chance at regaining the self-worth I have been seeking for so long.

I will miss Colorado, with it wonderful people and crazy weather (tornadoes and all). Who knows, maybe someday I will return there. I do not know what the future holds for me; right now I am taking it one day at a time. I know my dogs are happy here, although I think Niki will miss romping in the snow. I trust their sense of wellbeing and will follow their lead on this one!
