Her willingness to keep going and to go for it - will remind you that anything is possible when you allow yourself to dream and believe that there is more for you.

Her realization that the new path she chose wasn’t exactly right for her, will remind you that it’s okay to try something new and not love it the way that you expected. Her acceptance that it was okay to move on, and her decision to focus on the things that made her happy, will remind you that our passions are hidden in our joys.

“I started to open myself up to all of the opportunities that came my way, and it gave me wings! I was suddenly exploring, learning, and educating myself, and this is where the magic happens. This is really when everything fell into place, and I felt truly free and authentic to myself.”
