Reflections of Joy: Learning to Love the Woman You See While Becoming the One You're Meant to Be

Life is a journey filled with  unexpected encounters and experiences that shape us into who we become. These moments often lead us down uncharted paths and, in hindsight, appear destined to be part of our story.

  Throughout my life, I've been keenly aware of my gut feelings, relying on them as a guiding force. As I attempt to give up a little control, I find myself experiencing moments where I feel nudged in a particular direction or placed in precisely the right spot at the right time. The frequency of these occurrences has left me with a lingering sense of wonder and makes me question whether it’s me or the Spirit at play.

Gut feelings, also known as intuition, are those instinctive, visceral reactions we experience when facing decisions or situations. In the past, I would attempt to squash these feelings due to their irrational nature. As I’ve learned to trust, I’ve discovered my gut will rarely lead me astray. 

Nudges are subtle, persistent feelings or thoughts that encourage us to make specific decisions or take certain actions. They often come when we least expect them and may gently push us to pursue new opportunities or make choices that align with our life's purpose. Over the last year, I’ve met some of the most incredible people because I sensed a need to sign up for a course or accept an invitation.
