You always get what you need when you need it..

I'm a firm believer that you will always get what you need when you need it, even if you don't even know you needed it.

I've had a lot of people come in and out of my life, people always seemed to be coming and going and I never used to understand why so many people would just up and leave, elimintaing our ties of friendship. I would be really hard on myself thinking it was something I did, thinking I wasn't a good person,angry with myself for letting them go. It took me a long time to realize that they were in my life for the purpose they were intended for. Some of them taught me not to care what others think, some of them taught me that friendships/relationships are hard, some of them have taught me how to forgive. With out each of those people I wouldn't be who I am today, I didn't realize those lessons at the time, but reflecting back, I was getting what I needed from each of those experiences. I'm still learning, but I now know every person I meet, every interaction I have now  has a purpose. I can honestly say that right now I am in the place I need to be, even though everything is not all great, it's just were I am supposed to be.

One of my favorite quotes from Helen Keller is:  

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” 

I encourage you to stop looking at your closed doors and search for the open ones. Find peace in something.

I now leave you with a story from our gifting experience last week. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I am thankful my friends and I were able to give you hope. Enjoy your bracelets and have a wonderful day!

My nephews, my daughter, and I had received free bracelets from you and you gave me a dare...

It said to call someone that I haven't talked to in a long time, and tell you how it went.
I called a few people, that I am trying to forgive, because I need them back in my life, but no answers or response.
Then I remembered your name. Michelle.
My friend Michelle passed away about two years ago.
She died of Heart failure at age 41. She had the heart of an angel and wished I could call her in Heaven.

I truly miss her. She was a ditsy blonde with blue blue eyes. She was missing front teeth, but her smile always had a glow.
She cheered me on 5 years ago when I had Breast Cancer. We always bought each other little gifts. She loved Flip-Flops,
so I purchased many things for her. She always bought me Pink Ribbon things. I keep one of them on my key chain.

I often wonder how our friendship would have grown had she not left us...her son, who is 20, won't be going thru the struggle that he is going thru now.
I reach out to him, but I remind him of his mom, and he backs up a bit. I pray of him, for her sake. She is watching over him, but he is still pissed.
I understand him as I lost my mother at age 22. I am now 42. I have come to accept that I cannot change what happened.
To live in Peace with what has happened, and to move onwards to help as many people as I can.

I keep by FB stream clean, sort of. I love to Laugh, so I post many silly things. Other than that, it is all Inspiration quotes, and beautiful pictures of nature and animals.
It soothes my tensed nerves and brings me hope every day.

Thank You Michelle, for what you do.
You give me HOPE that there are still amazing Human Beings that care for people!
Please keep up your great work!.
If you need my help, please contact me any time!
