So, today I have made a step forward ... this step has been one I have 'tried' before but never committed to... This is an ongoing lesson that I have had to learn time and again. It makes me question why I have had to relearn the same concept over and over? For me to be successful I need to commit fully, otherwise I won't move forward, I'll slide back. I have worked too hard this past year and a half to give up on myself now.
I'm looking at being of service to others who need me. I want to decorate, bake for others and invite people over to bring the joyful feeling in my home. I have an idea of something that Valentina and I will be doing to bring that feeling into our home and hearts more.
I have allowed that amazing holiday with 'him' to stop me from making new and better memories. That is changing this year, both Valentina and I deserve better than past memories, we are making new ones together. The past will not define who I am in the future, the present will.

Nice quotes! I really needed to read something like that to push me forward!
ReplyDeletethanks :*
Dear Launna,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that you'll bake and open your home to people who need you :)
If we don't learn the lesson fully, we can't go forward in life... a lesson I've learned from life itself.
A big hug from Italy!

I echo Elena Del Maso's comment, and she said it so well!
ReplyDeleteYou will never win the lottery if you never buy a ticket :)
ReplyDeleteThe first steps are always the hardest, and glad you realized what you have to do. Living in the past is no fun, life passes you by so quickly you need to be present at every moment. Firts time on your blog, and it was very refreshing to read about positivity. Keep moving forward!
ReplyDeleteSincerely,

Hello my dear Launna!! <3 I've been away for ages!! You're right...working all the time isn't the best thing, and life shouldn't be spent working, for there are better things in life! So, I am back!!! ^_^ <3 How have you been? Are your classes going great? And happy thankgiving to you, my dear! I know that in Canada, they celebrate it slighty earlier, right? :)
ReplyDeleteAnd coming back to this post Launna, I am so so glad that you took the firm decision to move on with your life. Taking one small step at a time. It's hard, but not impossible. You're a strong woman, but still. we are all here to encourage you, and your decisions!!! <3

I believe that past shapes us but doesn't define us.
ReplyDeleteI'm you're not sad and you'll create new moments and memories!
ReplyDeleteXOXO!
That picture of the beach isn't too far off track--perhaps that's EXACTLY what you need. A change of scenery for the holidays. Or after the holidays, if you can't get away during Thanksgiving/Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHello Launna! I'm doing well I hope that you too. It's good idea to celebrate the holidays, I think that I will do too, decorate a bit, feel the house warm and invite to others. xoxo
ReplyDeletea change is always good for the holidays, it gives time to think and reflect i think. and i do believe that one can let the past go eventually- time does heal, I know!! and baking does some really good right now :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you keep with the dance of the holidays and enjoy it with your family and friends. Although, I don't every decorate much. Still I love the Christmas lights. Someone was asking me just this week if I'd found my ball of Christmas lights. She said it takes the whole weekend to untangle them..maybe that's what the holidays do to us..we stress over the little things, but I think you've got a head start. Of course, the cold wintry mix at my door really has pushed me back to just wanting to watch old movies. Like you said, keep going forward.is the key. All the best!
ReplyDeleteNice quotes!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and I totally admire how you've changed your life lately, keep on going :)
See you xx
Yep I totally agree that not committing to something sometimes means your committed to staying where you are or going backwards even. Hope you have a great day, Launna!

Launna,
ReplyDeleteI hope you and Valentina have an amazing and happy season! Christmas has always been a joyful time for my family, and although you may not have had the happiest memories at this time of year, you are so very right for focusing on the present and future. The past can never, never define us. Keep moving forward, and let the holidays be the chance to reflect on all the wonderful things in life.
I love how you can be so positive ♡ You are so inspirational! God bless ♡

You absolutely deserved better than past memories. I like your positive look on it all.
ReplyDeletewww.effortlesslady.com
I think it's normal that we have to re-learn the same lessons over and over again. life doesn't come with a check list where you can simply tick off things you've achieved and done. and once we accept this, everything becomes so much easier in my experience. no more beating myself up over messing up the same things over and over again. I just wasn't vigilant enough and have to put in a bit more work again. life is like a muscle. you have to use it all the time to keep it working at its best. as to commitment, I hear you. I'm the same. I either do it or I don't. whenever I try to flirt around the edges of something, it doesn't work out at all and often even backfires. go for what you need to do. and don't be too hard on yourself xoxo
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I'm so happy you're pushing forward and focusing on being of service to those in need while also being there for yourself. I hope you and Valentina can make some new memories, not to mask the pain of the old but because you deserve happiness. Real happiness that you've created yourselves.
ReplyDeleteBom dia querida DEUS seja contigo por onde andares.

ReplyDeleteIts true your past doesn't define you, we've all made mistakes & we are in no way qualified to judge each other. Everyday is a new day to start fresh! Enjoy your day Launna! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch great quotes. Full of inspiration.
ReplyDeletemy friend should read this post. its everything she needed. she's been down for so long.
ReplyDeletethanks for all the wonderful messages, Launna! you should try cutting your hair, it was never my intention though the one who cut it made that so short.
That's a great philosophy! Make new beautiful memories is the best way to heal our old wounds.

Such a great read and I'm looking forward to see what you and Valentina have planned. Helping others is such a nice way of moving on too and I think it's so inspirational how you talk about needing to let go of the past before being able to move on. :) Happy almost Holidays Launna!

Sometime it's so hard to me to looking back, but I also know that we learn a lot about our past or about other people's stories..

Great post.So interesting and inspiring
ReplyDeleteThis time I cant totally agree!!! The Past does define you! The past has turned out this wonderful and strong women you are now. You have learned so much, you fought against all these barriers, you lost so much weight, you started to sleep all night long after months of beeing awake at night. The past isnt something wrong...I know that sounds stupid..but you wouldnt be where you are now.
ReplyDeleteFor sure you will make so many new and amazing memories this year. I love the idea to do something for others. Sometimes a smile of someone else can be the best thing of a day. Really reallly love you attitude when its about fighting against this time of the year. Another challenge you will manage!!!
One sentence is really wonderful and describes everything: The past will not define who iam in the future, the present will!!! This sentence says everything and is so perfect!!
1000 hugs from Germany :)

Ciao, Launna, sono passata per portarti un affettuoso saluto.
ReplyDeleteQuanto mi piace leggere il tuo blog.
ReplyDeleteE' pieno di cose interessanti.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, my friend! And you still have plenty of time to make new memories with your daughter. Yes, Holidays can be a little bittersweet as we tend to compare them with previous years' holidays and we think about the ones who are not with us anymore, or at least that's what I do, but just like you I try to keep my mind in the present although a big part of my heart would like to go back in time. By the way, I'm so glad to see one of my fave quotes there!! ;) that phrase is really helping my right now :)

ReplyDeleteYou go, girl!
ReplyDeleteWAIT! Come back here... I didn't want you to LEAVE!
Your post reminds me of something Will Rogers said: "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." You're definitely on the right track. The trick now is to keep moving forward.
HI Launna, you do deserve it all and so does Valentina. I hope this holiday season will bring you some peace and the strength to move past the haunting memories that are trying to hold you back! You can succeed! You will succeed! (sorry for the delay in getting here -- somehow Firefox decided to put all my feedburner emails in the spam folder -- glad I checked it before emptying!) Hope it is a wonderful weekend for both of you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck for you and Valentina for your plan. Cheers Launna.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the luck!
ReplyDeleteEu também adoro brilho! *___*
ReplyDeleteO importante é focar para sempre andar pra frente! E olha só, 2015 está chegando. Está na hora de refletir sobre as coisas boas que aconteceram e planejar coisas positivas para o próximo ano!
Ótimo sábado, Launna!
Beijo! ^^
This is so admirable.. I love this, you really deserve this. I'm really going through a tough time at the moment and the holidays certainly do make it much harder.
