NOW is right on time....

These are my Post Origami Owl Convention thoughts....I figured I need to blog about them since I can't quit thinking about them.

This convention was a life changing experience for me.  Being surrounded by women from all over the country who all have the same goals in mind.  Women who have come from completely different walks of life.  Women struggling financially, women struggling with their sick children, women struggling with divorce...and some women who were not struggling at all.  We were all there together like sisters--one big family. 

I was surrounded by women that know life happens, and that everyone makes mistakes and that living in the past is just not the way to happiness.  Maybe you didn't make a mistake, maybe BAD THINGS just keep happening to you.  It can kill your inner spirit.  I know, I can relate. I am more of the bad decision girl.  I went through a time in my life that when I look back, I don't even see how that could be ME! It makes no sense to me!! I would cry, ask God for forgiveness, but I was not forgiving myself. 

I let it all go at convention.  I know that I am forever changed.  I know can be happy regardless of my past.  I just had to let it go.    The past is OVER.  You cannot go back and change it. 

"Your journey has molded you for your greater good.  And it was exactly what it needed to be.  Don't think that you have lost time.  It took each and every situation that you have encountered to bring you to the now.  And now is right on time."  ~Asha Tyson

Isn't that an AMAZING quote??  Don't you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you read that?  I do!  Let me tell you---I don't like the situations I have been in, but has it molded me?? ABSOLUTELY.  I am a stronger person, and because of these situations, I can never be a person that judges someone. 

Am I PERFECT?  Absolutely not.  Do things get on my nerves?  Do people do things that make me scratch my head?? YES.  LOL  I wouldn't be human if they didn't I guess. 

Am I more understanding and compassionate? YES.

Why do people judge others??  I still can't figure it out.  Especially the ones that claim to be the biggest believers in God, yet they don't forgive and they are always passing judgement.  I will just assume that something they faced in their own life has made them that way.  I won't judge them. (I am however, CONFUSED)

Moral of the story...You can use your experiences to live with love and gratitude.  (AHHHH, I LOVE THE SOUND OF THAT)


Do you believe that someone who makes mistakes or bad decisions don't deserve love?    Everyone reacts differently to things going on in their life.  Some people are an open book, some will bottle their emotions and fight the demons within---until they have transformed into something they are not. 

Everyone deserves a second chance.  Think about your children.  If they make a mistake, are you going to disown them?  Quit loving them?  I am thinking NOT.  You might not agree with their choices, but I have a feeling you won't stop loving them.  :)

Treat your friends and strangers the same way.  Show a little compassion and understanding. 

Words and actions change people.  For the better----and the worse.  Don't let your words and actions change someone for the worse. 


Thank you Origami Owl....There is no doubt in my mind that this convention in Arizona was part of MY journey...I was MEANT to be there.  It was definitely RIGHT ON TIME!!!
