somethings should definitely change

i just spent the weekend with my soul sisters at our college reunion and we had such a great time. of course we wish it could have lasted longer but it won't be long before we're able to take week long vacations with each other and maybe our families. the joy of growing up with people is you get to see the changes and growth as the years go by. it's truly a beautiful thing to witness how we have all gone from 17 or 18 year old girls ready to break free and explore the world to amazing 30s comfortable with who we are,our place in the world and our plans for world domination. i love the women we have become. and i love the ways we will continue to grow.

that said, i was sad to learn at our reunion that not everyone has been on a journey of growth. i guess it's not surprising because not everyone recognizes that somethings should definitely change. personally, when i discover something is not working, i look at my role in it and come up with a plan for change. growth is beautiful. not everyone agrees. i can accept that. it is just sad to see it in action. carrying around that much anger, bitterness, etc., just means you have a huge chip on your shoulder that keeps you from 1) being free and 2) enjoying life!

i told the world when the year started that i'm moving forward in all areas of my life. i'm talking about living in abundance and that place where my cup runs over with goodness! i'm all about sharing out of the overflow. you can't live in the overflow when you're holding on to the sour, old, staleness of the past. i believe she's a good person. she has a good heart. my prayer is that she opens her heart to receive goodness. that she forgives those who wronged her. that she releases herself from bondage. that she embraces the fruits of the spirit. joy, love, peace, kindness, longsuffering, etc.

somethings should definitely change and feeling the need to be right or check people or call them out all the time, that's immature and ridiculous! i mean really, smile, GOD LOVES YOU! and when you smile the whole world smiles back. everyone should try it!
