Personal Growth is a Beautiful Thing.

It's been a long time since I've posted in here, my apologies..like always!

Anyway, I felt like this was a really significant day for me to post.  As those who use to follow my sporadic posts around this time last year know that I was going through some real tough times, depression and anxiety were at an all time high and I needed to make a change in my life because this was not how I wanted to keep living.  I was stuck in the gray of depression, yet I could still see the brightness of my future that I was desperately reaching out for.

Last St. Patricks Day, the guardian angel in my life, my long time friend, Siobhan, got married.  It was a tough day for me as a result of my depression but of course for Siobhan, I pulled through.  She has been there for me through EVERY complication that has come up in my life and the last thing I would do is miss her wedding day because I was in such a horrible spot in my life during this time.

As I sit here today and look back at myself a year ago, I cannot help but to beam with pride and joy, and almost want to cry for myself in the progress that I have made in my own personal development.  I have always been an individual with the inner strength of steel; however, occasionally I will experience what I call, situational depression.  My "situational depression" always makes me a different person.  Thankfully I am so head strong and have such a solid foundation of strength and wisdom, that once I slowly work my way out of the depression, I come out of it SO much stronger and motivated to achieve my dreams and pursue new goals.

Last St. Patrick's Day 2012 is history.... today, on St. Patrick's Day 2013, I have the plans in my head to MAKE my own HISTORY. I sit here as an individual that has inner happiness, balance, strength, dedication, motivation and so many things that I want to accomplish in life.  I have so much on my plate that I am grateful for and I would not take back a single day of those days I spent alone and depressed.  They have made me who I am today and the things that have not worked out along that way have brought me to people and places that continue to help me see the individual that I am meant to be.


To all my followers going through tough times, I understand where you are and I know where being strong can take you.... in closing and in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I want to share with all of you an Irish Prayer that I found on IslandIreland.com that is symbolic of this post----

"May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer."
