These are great lessons and I really appreciate the share. I feel very much that in becoming is something I have been struggling with lately.

I had that predetermined path for myself I knew from 7 years old what my life plan was. School college uni work marry buy a house kids. It’s not the world I grew up in it wasn’t forced by my parents it’s what I created from my desire to be a teacher and a home owner.

What happened school, crisis that had me drop out of college pregnancy house purchase almost married house sale eviction uni house purchase engagement on the horizon. My plan that should’ve taken 14 year from leaving school is yet to be completed 27yrs on and some of it I’ve had to let go because it can never be now because I wanted it then not now.

All that to say this one hit home

Thank you Donna :) It feels like a season that many people are going through right now. It's uncomfortable for sure, but love that I am aware that this is what it is. I appreciate your share - it's a beautiful example of life having its own plan.
