Adapt! Learn! Grow!

When life throws you lemons you make lemonade. We’ve all heard this quote but is it that easy to do? What if you get tons of lemons all at one time? What if you don’t know how to handle all the lemons that are coming at you?  What if the lemons are old and rotten? The past two years have been full of lemons and lemonade for me. I have gone through some extremely difficult times, some moments were so incredibly hard and stressful that they almost put me over the edge, but they didn't, and let me tell you I learned a lot from those moments. It is these lessons that propel us, we must use what we learn from the past to guide us into the future. 

Watching my children grow into teenagers has been eye opening, challenging, and wonderful. Keeping them safe and healthy is a constant in my mind, and we've had to make some serious decisions about the year ahead. When I am dealing with difficult decisions and issues I have a tendency to keep it to myself, which I did for a little while, but now I'm back and ready to talk about it all!

As I look back on the difficult times I realize that at each individual moment I was scared. Fear can play a big role in your decision making, like climbing a mountain, the view ahead can be scary and may seem unattainable, but somehow, someway we keep climbing and we can be proud, that once we get to the pinnacle and we look back at the journey it won't seem as treacherous. Using that mindset has allowed me to climb, adapt, grow and change. 

I want you to join in with me and talk about your struggles, your moments, did you pivot your life? Was it scary, rewarding? What did you learn about yourself?
