I always get a mix of emotions when my Facebook memories show up today. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing all the pictures and reminiscing about one of the best nights of my life 11 years ago (January 28, 2012) when we celebrated the B’nai Mitzvah of Jacob and Hannah with all our family and friends by our side but still I can’t help but feel a sense of sadness and loss when I reflect back on that night either.
I am not the same person I was then. That person, she’s gone, forever. She vanished into thin air just 2 short years later. I still miss so much about her.
But six years ago today (January 28, 2017) I was able to recreate a new version of me when I slowly began to let the world in and see all the parts of me I’d kept hidden for so long. By reaching outside my comfort zone, while in the midst of my own storm and sharing my truth, I was able to start helping others see the many depths of depression and anxiety and let those who were suffering like me know that they were not alone.
I wrote and shared my first ever Blog publicly that day. It was six years ago today that my pathway to purpose first began and I have no regrets in doing so, instead I just have purpose.
(Here is a blog I wrote last year on this day discussing how I found my pathway to purpose: https://youareenough712.wordpress.com/2022/01/28/the-pathway-to-purpose/).
