Life is hard…..sometimes

Posted on by RhapsodyBoheme

Life is hard right now, but perhaps everything is the way it needs to be, even if we can’t see it at times and are left unable to envision what’s to come. Maybe it is the uncertainty and no matter how positive and optimistic we are, there is always an element of the unknown which is frightening. And then there is hope and whatever else we choose to believe in. We need something to cling to and something that we can hold on to with every shred of our being. To pull us through the darkness, the pain and to give us hope and reassurance for better days. 

Tonight I came across an old picture I once saved and tonight I re-read the lines to let them calm me and rest assured that everything will fall into place once more, like it always does.

We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other. Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other. This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place. My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire. Who I am in a nutshell... 
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master. I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago. I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars. I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter. I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self. This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes. Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

    1. You are absolutely right my dear friend. You know how optimistic I am and that I always see the glass half full, but sometimes, just sometimes I can see where people can lose their way and become negative and bitter.
      Life sure is no easy beast to conquer but hopefully a truly rewarding one in the end if we stay the course and continue to believe in the lessons it brings.
      Thank you for the hug, it was much needed tonight. Xo

      1. I’m that person you just described. I used to be Mr. Optimistic, then I crashed extremely hard and I was sad, depressed, miserably negative and bitter.
        But now, now I’m becoming MISS Optimistic. 😉

      2. And it makes me beyond happy that you are finding your way back. You know it takes a strong person not to drown in self pity and sorrow. I know you are strong and sometimes I say “the hell with always being strong”. Sometimes there has to be a release, a weak moment, a time to lean on a comforting shoulder, a time to sob. As long as we don’t lose ourselves and find our way back no matter how long it takes. I’m proud to know you and to call you my friend, and you know I truly mean that.

      4. I know. It been three years since the side effects from rheumatoid arthritis stole my tears. It’s awful, as I want to cry but never feel the release from a tear running down my face.
        I cry (without tears and mainly just making an awful ugly face) and it feels the pain remains stuck inside without feeling better or relieved afterwards.
