Begin…Again
This post is in response to today’s writing circle prompt being hosted on the blog of the delightful and ever-inspiring angel-in-residence, Amy Oscar. I was really looking forward to doing the Reverb project this year and when it was “cancelled”, Amy graciously offered this alternative. Please check it out and join us if you can. YOU inspire me. And I love you. ~ LMB

I’m stepping into something new.
Again.
Starting over.
Again.
CHOOSING to begin…
Again.
Life is like that.
Each day, hell, each moment arrives with a freshness we’ve never experienced before.
Too often, however, we fail to recognize the gift.
And that’s ok.
There will be another moment to choose.
To.Begin.Again.
I promise.
This beginning is different for me.
I’m not angry about what’s ending. What I’m giving up.
I am not focused on the inconvenience of it all.
I feel at ease.
Hopeful.
Grateful.
LIGHTER.
Yes.
LIGHTER.
I take this new step minus the baggage of a 26 year old hurt.
I take this new step accepting the *why* of moving after only 4 months in this apartment.
I take this step celebrating the fact that in choosing this move, I am honoring ME.
My need for privacy.
My need for peace.
My need to create and live in an environment that supports me.
My need to have the people I share space with respect all of those things.
Never again will I settle again for anything less.
I am beginning…again.
Gratitude on my lips.
Love in my ever-expanding heart.
Wide-eyed with excitement and wonder.
Pens, journals and pictures in tow.
And not much else.
I have no need to carry much of anything else anymore.
(Did you get that?) 
I’m beginning…again.
And it feels good.
How about you? What are you taking with you or better yet, leaving BEHIND, as you Begin…again?

With wide-eyed enchantment and love, gratitude, journals, pens and pics at the ready ~ to quote Dr. Seuss — Ooooh, the PLACES you'll go!!
Every minute of every day is an opportunity to Begin Again – even if only in the way you choose to see something from a new perspective. Knowing that, and actively accessing that power, is pure magic.
Grateful you're in this Writer's Circle …

Once again, similarities collide and I'm grateful for your perspective! I hope this move is full of wonderful realizations and celebrations and i hope you'll keep us posted on your journey. I too am beginning again (in a way) and while the butterflies are flitting in my tummy, so is the excitement
Much love to you my friend. And many, many blessings!
Whatever you write here completely is related to me my life in someway or the other. Not today, but one day I had decided to leave back a year old hurt which I was nursing from a long time. It was time for me to let go, to give myself the privilege to be happy.
