So much of our lives are spent worried about what to do next. We want the next phase of our lives to unfold before our very eyes. This morning, as I got on facebook, I saw a memory of when Jarrett and I first publicly posted about our relationship. I can remember being completely terrified for so many reasons. My past decisions, his past decisions and my tendency to be incredibly private all combined to make an innocent, happy situation, a very stressful one for me.
I knew, with all of my heart, that Jarrett was my person, but I also knew there were people that wouldn’t agree with my decision. So I pondered it for way longer than I should. Sweet friends, one thing I know for sure, is that your heart already knows the way. Wherever it is in life that you feel stuck, relax and allow your heart to guide you. Our ego, our pride, and our fear will keep us in places far longer than we should be there. Allow your heart to be your guide.
Jarrett is, without question, the best thing that has ever happened to me. He is the love of my life. Our journey to one another was neither easy or straightforward. But we arrived. Together. Exactly when we should have. Our marriage is a beautiful mess of two honest people just working through life. We are real, we are honest and we are open with each other. We are aware of past mistakes but we do not allow them to hold us back. We take the lessons with us as we move forward.
We have both shed tears over past hurts and big regrets. We are raw at times, healed at other times and happier than we have ever been at still other times. I had the thought one time that we didn’t do it the right way. But truly, there is no right way. There is only one way, and that is the way that feels right for you. Allow yourself to live. Fully. Where you are now. Your heart will lead you exactly where you should be, exactly when it’s time. Relax sweet friends, your heart already knows the way. Much love and sweet journeys forward sweet friends.
