“Sit with it.”
That’s something I catch myself saying a lot these days. “Think about how that makes you feel and sit with it for a bit.”

Let me tell y’all something: I am excellent at giving advice.
I am, however, pretty terrible at taking it.

So here I am, taking my own advice, and sitting with my feelings and seeing where it takes me.

The last post I wrote found me lost in the crossroads. I was unsure of what path I should follow, and little did I know, that the path would soon find me.

Just a few weeks after that post was published, I interviewed for a new role and landed it. Shortly thereafter, I went on a trip that allowed me the space to do some self reflection. That trip allowed me to put certain situations in my life into perspective and the path forward was suddenly clearly illuminated.

So fast forward to nearly 5 months later and here I am. I’ve been doing some serious inventory when it comes to my heart space. I’ve said good-bye to connections that were no longer serving me, I’ve modified the access that some people had to me, and I’ve restructured my boundaries in my existing relationships to create a healthy space for me to continue to grow within them while still being a good whatever it is I am to them.

During this time, I have come to realize that this next phase of my life is centered around trusting there’s a plan being divinely guided that no one can get in the way of. It can certainly transform or be delayed in time, but what is meant for me is always going to be for me.
And that’s the wisdom that I’m bestowing upon you.
Whatever is for you, will be for you. No man, no woman, no anything could ever get in the way of that.

I am very much an actionable person. I like to see actions that affirm a belief in order to truly grasp it.

I got confirmation of these events when I realized how the doors were swinging open. Things suddenly felt like they were happening quickly, but it felt right. It sat well with my soul.

Now, on the other side of the whirlwind, is slightly a different story. This is where the real work begins, but it’s also exactly what I had been asking for. I wanted opportunities in my life that validated the talents I possess, and right now, I know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
That’s a really beautiful feeling.

The divide in the road is gone, and for the time being I know exactly where I’m headed. The few months where I felt lost and confused served it’s ultimate purpose. I was spun on my axis, the doors swung open, and my feet carried me down this path of belonging.
