Like the buds on the trees and the tulips coming up in our spring pots.  I have this feeling of possibilities and I feel thankful that it is real and stable and something I can hold on to.  I feels like I am hitching a ride to an exciting new place and I&#8217;m optimistic and giddy with it all.  There is the &#8216;old&#8217; way and the &#8216;new&#8217; way, and I have stepped on to the emerald green lawn of freshness and newness.  A new chapter is here, and I am rejoicing.  I can hear a metaphoric church bell on a hazy summer morning, proclaiming that we are celebrating.  The celebration of new life, of a new chapter and a new beginning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read one of those meaningful quotes the other day and it said an ending is just the beginning of something new.  And this time I am going to embrace the new and allow her entry.  I&#8217;m closing the door on the past and proclaiming my willingness to branch out, on to the emerald lawn of potentiality.  And there is hope here and optimism here and I can feel it like a warm bath, giving me solace after a long winter.  And I deserve this new chapter, and I&#8217;m going to own it as mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did the research, I followed my &#8216;gut&#8217; and my heart, and I have arrived here.  And yes there are still those pot holes to clean up and navigate.  And yet now, today, I feel ready for the challenge.  And I say this with my strength, with my courage and my Warrior Woman Armour on.  And this is me, stepping up and saying &#8216;Yes!&#8217; to my life, to new beginnings and exciting adventures.  And I thank Beach Sue for stepping forwards and standing on the stage.  I see her bowing and standing in the light.  And as the applause reaches a crescendo, I do a little dancing jig and I exit the stage ready to go play in the sunshine today.  Let the adventures roll!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Endings and Beginnings I feel some hope coming in.
