Starting over can be a good thing.  Sometimes starting over is necessary. Life has a way of molding and shaping us even when we don’t realize that it is happening.  Often times, our realization comes later on in life.  An example of this for me was when I first became a single mom.  My son was eighteen months old when that happened, and he is now twenty-three years old.  The beginning of that experience was filled with so much uncertainty. Currently, I am still yet single, but I have seen myself evolve and flow into my purpose.  I had to find the right space and time to reinvent myself.  The young woman I was all those years ago, is now a purpose-driven lady filled with ambition and a new perspective.

In the past, I found myself involved in relationships that served me no purpose.  I wasn’t desperate, but in those situations, I now see that no clear boundaries were set, so it’s no wonder it didn’t work out the way I wanted it to.  Now that I am completely detached from being involved in any capacity with anyone, my head is clearer.  I can now think with clarity and intention.  Now that I am free to love and be loved correctly, I have the opportunity to rewrite the narrative of a new intentional relationship designed to my specifications.  No longer will I ever again settle for anything that doesn’t fit me.  I get to decide who has access to me.  I get to say no to anything that does not suit me, and yes to all the things that I deserve.

A New Thing

In my book, Promise, I speak about a new thing. Throughout my journey as a single mom, I had to often reinvent myself to become the new version needed. Just like the seasons of the year change so do the seasons of life. The art of reinvention opens up the pathway to being aligned with purpose. There have been so many times I was unclear about my purpose. Now that I can see clearly, the future looks so bright. Purpose has a way of bringing out the best in you.
