Description

I have been very privileged in the last month to attend two life changing training courses at work... Although they were both intended to make a difference in the work environment, they certainly have had a huge impact on a personal level too. It brought me to a space where I am taking stock of many things in my life and where I am beginning to feel strong enough to start making life altering choices and decisions. So if I am sounding a bit "odd"... now you know the reason! LOL... Just today I have learned that one is never to old to renew the future vision for your life. The new vision is a bold declaration and decision that you are in charge and taking responsibility for your life. It is giving yourself permission to dream once again of what could be and to believe those dreams can come true. With this new vision you look to the future with positive anticipation rather than nervous apprehension. We so often stare ourselves blind against the "how to" that we miss great opportunities! Anyway - thank you for clicking in and for your valued comments and favs on my upload yesterday! Stay well! Hugs, Carin xx

Great to hear what you have learned, Carin! I think that that fact came suddenly home to me when I was about fifty, and the last 15 years have been the best so far!! A very beautiful photo, by the way!

Carin that is soooo true!!! If we could all see the new visions in front of us as inspiring instead of forbading ..we would move much faster ....

And, what then, my dear friend, do you do when you already KNOW this to be true but the inner self cannot make a move towards it? So many people know this but their feet and hearts are nailed to the floor. I can't help but think, though, that you will sail through the rough waters into another glistening safe harbor filled with new adventures and goals to be met. :-) This is like one of those "inspirational posters" I see in the human resources dept. Very encouraging message it sends.

Interesting concept; I just hope that my nightly dreams never become reality. And, a cool capture of the lonely leaf, Carin, as it drifts aimlessly about not knowing its eventual fate.

It is definately always best to look forward to life instead of get buried in what you have lost. I find I sometimes have to remind myself of that as it is certainly easy to fall off the right path at times. It's good to look at things the way a child does, you fall over lots but life is good again once you get back up :)

Ek es trots op jou, Dierbaar! Making decisions, large or small, from that authentic place ... that's where it's at! Ek het jou lief ... Oh yes ... and the image is beautiful! I love the surface tension around the leaf, and the muted colors are gorgeous.
