Lost and Found

by Gillian on February 9, 2013

This week I lost my purse, my phone, my passport.

I also watched a chapter in my life close.  I watched my life stop to make sense.

Every painful experience gives you strength.  I am trying not to break even when I’m shaken like thunder.

Someday I hope to be a leader.  A helper.  A teacher.  If I am to do this properly I have to let every experience teach me and make me wiser.

I’m sorry to hear about this. Yes being lost lends us the opportunity to be found. I love the quotes in the image above. Thank you. Sending love and positive vibes your way, Gillian.

Heard about your recent events and I have to agree with Krissy above. “… know that you are exactly where you are meant to be – even if it doesn’t feel like it right now”. As George Harrison once acknowledged “All Things Must Pass”. Keep strong and talk to your confidents for strength. Talking it out is always a good thing. Hugs. Franc.

Hang in there Gillian – it all unfolds as it should, and is always darkest before the dawn. There will be light xo

Thinking about you–and throughout the years you have continuously shown how strong you are and how you can overcome anything–for something better that is there for you to take and hold. Chapters close and new ones open. And there’s beauty in all of it.

The whole world is still out there for you–all of it.
