Loving what is, and appreciating who YOU are.

One of my good friends Kaylie bought me a book. Heaven is Here by Stephanie Nielson. The most inspiring, motivating, entrancing book I have ever read. I recommend everyone read this. It is a book that you will laugh to, cry, and feel the spirit more than any other book. Reading this book has been a really big eye opener for me as well. Loving what is. Either changing it so you are happier, or loving it for what it is. Stephanie went through trauma. She went through so much and came out stronger in life than ever before. I am going through hard times, yet good times. As we all are as human beings. We all grow and learn from each other and take and give through out our whole life. Some take more than others, others give more than they take. I have experience both. As I'm sure you all have at some point or another in this life. But one thing that really has caught me off guard is growth. The amount of growth that I have accomplished within this year alone is astounding. We all know we are growing emotionally, physically and mentally, but do we ever really notice? I have. And this book really made me appreciate what I am doing in life and living it to the fullest. You never know when life might stop giving you lemons and you stop making lemonade.
