Where Energy is Focused Creation Occurs

(Photo credit to my 3-year-old, Eli)

Erik and I have been staying up late together after the kids go to bed, cuddling, watching Friends, and laughing our 🫏’s off. It’s been good for my soul.

Every time I find myself watching this show, I wish I had friendships like that.

I found myself reflecting on things the other day. Some people invest in friendships, and they have amazing long term friendships. Some people focus on careers and finances, and they have incredible careers and a lot of money. I focused on creating a family.

I wanted a husband and a family, and I put forth a ton of effort into attaining that, and I now have it. As many of you know, it was not easy. I am divorced, unengaged, and have been through many boyfriends to get where I am now.

I honed my energy in on creating the family that I wanted, and I did not settle. Despite heart wrenching set back after set back, I kept searching until I found someone who matched my energy and passion.

Marriage and parenthood themselves bring new overwhelming and intimidating challenges to work through. I do so less than gracefully most of the time. However, I am reminded that merely five years ago, I would have killed to be where I am now. I am grateful for the challenges, and I know that I can and will rise to the occasion.  

Regardless, I focused my energy on creating the family that I now have. I was so intent on that, I really didn’t care too much about anything else. I realize now, that I have some space to put my energy into other things. I asked myself, what do I want out of life?

I now find myself wanting things like abundance in finances, so I can pursue my dreams and passions and close long term friendships.

Just like finding Erik and creating my family was and is a journey, I am sure it will be that way for the other things, but I strongly believe that what you focus your energy on is what you will create in your life.

Cheers to all the beauty we have yet to create!
