I made a couple of friends
the other day at a meet the
author book signing for my
book with a new title:
"Healing is possible".
While we talked, the statement
was made that WV has 5
seasons instead of 4,
and the 5th season is
Mud Season.
What this means is,
after the beautiful snow of
Christmas or New Year's Day
melts, West Virginians
trudge through mud until
Spring arrives to dry it all up.
So what does this have to do
with personal growth?
A lot!
Let me know if you can relate
to this...
As I began to understand my value
and set boundaries it was beautiful,
but then I had to let some people
go because they would not respect
my boundaries. (mud season)
I finally broke free of that destructive
relationship and I am in a safe place,
but now I need to acknowledge my
part in creating the dysfunction.
(mud season)
I forgave the people that hurt me
and let go of my right to get even.
I feel so much freedom and clarity.
but revenge was my closest friend
and now I feel empty. (mud season)
Mud Season is those times in your
life right after a breakthrough or
after getting closure, when you
realize that personal growth is a
lifestyle not a destination.
Sometimes there will be new battles
to fight. Other times there will be
a deeper level of healing to receive.
Just know that it is all a part of the
process and you are not alone.
You are not a failure and
it will always be worth the struggle.
Because you are worth it all!
