Lovely reflections KL! Brought a smile to the heart.
Fantastic post KL. Plenty of juicy goodness in there, I also know nothing despite all that I learn from you. There is a lovely paradox in there.
Peter – may that smile be contagious!
Marianne – I love that! Even as we learn from each other, we know less and less. And smile more and more
Thanks heaps for commenting,

Wow, Kara-Leah, what great insights in this post! And can I say how GORGEOUS you look at 38 weeks pregnant? Blessings on you and your partner as you prepare for the arrival of your little one.
Hey Anne-Marie,
Thank you! I certainly feel blessed, from the inside out

Inspiring reflections Kara-Leah, in order to move forward we need to know where we’ve been…. and bring the essential through with us… thank you for making this visible in such a moving way.
Hey Carol,
Thanks for stopping by – love your gravatar too!
Blessings,

Hi K-L. Some great realizations here.
I particularly resonate with the bit parts one.
Myself, I have recently come to understand that I cannot be the perpetual bratty, selfish child. I can keep my childlike excitement about life, but I cannot really expect that everyone and everything will come to me just as I please and that everyone else will do the things in my life that I do not feeling like doing for myself.
This is not a game, not a rehearsal. This IS my life, what kind of life do I want to CREATE?
For me it is not about lowering expectations, so much as putting in the effort to make my floaty, mediocre life into a focused, amazing life. Too bad it took until age 34 to get that.
Hey Vera,
God, image if we knew at 20 what we know now at 34! Although I guess our learning curve through adulthood would just have been different
is your life really floaty and mediocre? Or is that just how you’re seeing it???
Blessings,
KL
Hi K-L. Thanks for making me think about that statement.
What I should have said is that my life is more floaty and less satisfying than it could and should be at this point in my life/education/career.
I am working on my willingness to work toward, and think toward, what I actually want to manifest in my life, as opposed to just dreaming and whining about it.
Much Love,
Vera
