Unexpected personal losses, shocking life events and radical changes can happen all at once or in waves. When they come, they can hit you like a “personal tsunami” that overwhelms and destroys life as you know it. When mine hit, I felt that darkness of grief, that daunting fear of the unknown, totally disoriented and paralyzed. I believed the best years of my life were over and felt hopeless about the future. I was so knotted up, I could barely breathe!
There I was, known for most of my life as a strong, resourceful problem solver and change agent. Yet, when my world fell apart, I didn’t have a clue about what to do next!
Two years later, my “a-ha” moment came after I had finally broken through my tunnel of darkness and over to the other, lighter side of life. I could b-r-e-a-t-h-e again. I felt alive, energized and hopeful, as I redefined myself, my life and my priorities with clarity. I could go out socializing and dancing again. That’s when I realized I had evolved through stages of my own butterfly-like metamorphosis. From that process, I learned the most important lessons of my life!
I vowed to find a way to share those lessons and the wisdom I gained to help others facing similar personal loss and traumatic life changes move through the process in a better, faster way and on the path to healing, transformation and a new stage of life.
I created the vision, started building this new platform, then had some health issues and setbacks. But, I kept moving forward. Now, I’m ready to fly with this first posting to my new blog, the Path2Butterfly Forum!
