💎Embrace the Unexpected💎

Life has a way of throwing curve balls your way, when and where you least expect it. If you've never been hit with a curve ball, your simply not living.

My plan when starting I AM Creative Therapy was to always blog about fashion, health kicks, natural skin products, etc. However, I woke up this morning with a heavy heart and after praying, I decided to share hoping to comfort others in similar situations.

I want to start off by saying when you expect something, the reaction normally isn't as great as when the unexpected happens. The Unexpected-whether positive can cause a more surprised reaction, while negative can make a situation feel a thousand times worse. Having many curve balls thrown my way, nothing compares to when I lost one of my closest friends. Words cannot express the pain I felt the day I found out she passed away. It was a pain I've never experienced. Both of my grandparents have passed, but because of their health conditions and age, I had time to prepare and brace myself for the day it happened. With my friend only 24 and seemingly healthy, I was left devastated, angry, and questioning why her??

After much questioning and prayers on top of prayers, I have come to the realization that ITS GODS WILL. No matter how I try to justify her being here longer "Shes too young. She was such a good person. She had so much going for herself. She just moved to LA, had plans of being a famous movie Director". Why didn't you allow her to stay longer? The answer I received is because it was her time to go. That simple.

I've also come to the realization that things will happen daily that you cannot control and its not about the twists n turns of each situation, but how you choose to handle them. Of course this doesn't take away from how hard or irritating a situation may be. To me, its about choices. Will I let the little things ruin my day or will I embrace these things and see my days as a blessing? Will I continue to harbor sadness in my heart for loss of loved ones or will I think positively about one day reuniting with them? The way you view things, really affects your ability to grow in life.

Each day can be a challenge, but its is  really about taking the seemingly negative things and making them as positive as any situation calls for.
