Hearts Don’t Break. They Grow.

A message for the brokenhearted.

Hearts don’t break. They grow. And growth is uncomfortable. In the midst of the discomfort, if you can remember the truth of who and what you are, you can accept the discomfort as part of the experience of growing. You are so much more than you are realizing.

Giving birth is highly uncomfortable, and yet many women choose to have that rugged, painful experience several times. And that is what growth is—the birth of the new. You are embarking on a new phase, a new chapter of your life; you are giving birth to the next version of you.

Breathe in the future you want and breathe out the past you are releasing. Call to you your new reality with curiosity and excitement and anticipation—oh, what is next for me! Be like a child on Christmas Eve that can’t wait to wake up and see the new gifts.

The gift is the new you. The new you awaits you. Use this time to reflect on the choices you made along the path that led you to where you are today. Take comfort in knowing that you will be more prepared for the path you take forward now.

You are more than this experience. You have talents and strengths that you are only beginning to understand and tap into. Say goodbye to what was with fondness and with appreciation for leading you here. Right to the beginning. The beginning of the next chapter. The next amazing chapter in the life that is you. Write it well.
