A Little Birdie..

               Clara started to forward me "daily truths" from The Brave Girl's Club. An email that starts with "A little birdie told me..." And each email had a passage that was what I needed or wanted to hear. After a few emails and Clara's persistence, I decided to subscribe. This particular "daily truth" stuck with me for many reasons.. And I wanted to share it with my girlfriends (and mom and grandma!)


Dear Gorgeous Girl,
It's a big life in a big world with big possibilities. One of the wonderful things about all of this is that what might SEEM like the end -is actually the beginning.Change is hard and endings are difficult and saying goodbye is painful. But it is all part of a big life in a big world with big possibilities, and every change, every ending, every goodbye is a step toward new and exciting things.Every change, every ending, and every goodbye is also proof of incredible experiences that if nothing else, taught us more about ourselves and others. We can also look back and be thankful, no matter what happened or how we 'thought' things might turn out. Things always turn out exactly as they are meant to. As the old saying goes, "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened," and know that happy and amazing things are ahead for you. Your best years have not even happened yet!

                          Anyways, I got to thinking about what has happened in my life where I could have used this or wish I could have told myself and actually BELIEVED IT! I originally thought I wanted to share what my "beginnings and endings" were. But frankly, all my "readers" have been apart of these situations so I don't need to explain...
                           What really got thinking was a situation in which a friend of a friend is in. Her boyfriend of over 2 years passed away in a car accident about a week ago. I don't know her friend very well, but I can't imagine what she is going through. Things like this for an outsider like myself, make me think back to events that could have put myself in a similar situation. Thank goodness I haven't been put in that situation. And then, I also think of friends or family who have lost someone/thing... Ugh. I need to stop that right now and think happy thoughts :)
                            Maybe not right now, but in a little while, if her friend could read this daily truth or have someone tell her some of these things, I would hope that she could believe it. Because, I really think I believe that every end is a new beginning. Every change teaches us something positive or negative. We should celebrate what that person/thing has given us and realize how it has changed us. And with that change, take it to our next relationship, step or project..
                              I am very grateful for my family, friends and my relationship with Matt and our dogs. And I want all of you to know, you hold a special place in my heart and if I don't know you, someones else's for sure..
Alright, I think that's enough for now...
Love, Kaylee
