See Me... Through Symbolic Change

For weeks, I have been talking to my mom and my best friend, Karla about some changes I have been experiencing spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.


The changes were for a desire to have a closer relationship with God, to be in a whole relationship with someone and not compromise my values, and to get a clear mental picture of my life purpose.


Between the two of them, I was constantly showered with words of encouragement.  Then one day this week, my mom said something that just clicked for me and I was at peace. She let me know that God would allow my husband to find me, once he had established me where he wanted me.


In sharing this with my best friend, we agreed that because I care and love hard, if I was in a relationship, I would find myself distracted from what God has been doing with me and through me. The next day while sitting in my car before work, I noticed a dragonfly that kept hovering around my car. I decided to look up the symbolism.


Dragonfly - maturity and a depth of character.
Symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self-realization, and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.

So, as you can see, this journey to a better me physically has also become a journey to a mature complete woman.

Oh, by the way, I'm down 23 pounds and a couple clothes sizes.  I am leaving in a few hours headed to West Palm Beach, FL to celebrate!!!!

I am enjoying this journey even if it has come with tears...

Until next time,
