{1 year ago today}

It seems only fitting that this post here is my 500th post on my blog. 

It also it interesting that this 500th post is posted one year to the day that I decided that I wasn't happy and left my relationship with my now ex-fiance. 

Last year at about 7pm on December 14th I called my engagement off. 

I left my ring and kissed my dogs and house goodbye.  

I packed up a small bag of my most personal items and things I would need in case he didn't let me back in the house and I drove over to my best friend's house before heading over to my moms.

Lindsey greated me with a big hug and told me it'll be okay and told me she loved me.  She handed me a glass of wine and put a crown on me..

This one is blurry but you get the idea.. It caught the moment..

I was all shook up so granted it's kinda funny the photo is shaky. 

I just made a huge leap of faith by following my heart and my heart has felt more alive than it has this past year than it has in the past 7 years.

I took this photo of myself that night and I can't help but look back at the past year in my life and see all the fun times I've had.   I knew it then and I still know it now that I made the right choice for me..

 I've never felt more like myself in the past 7 years than I have these past 12 months. 

I've traveled...

I've loved..

I've lived..

I've dreamed..

I've made vision boards that are coming true..

I've attended church.. I took relationship classes..

I learned to love the way I need love given...

I've reconnected with friends..

I've taken a chance on love with my whole heart...

I've learned that everything happens for a reason and my reason one year ago today still rings true till this day...

Always follow your heart it'll always lead you in the right place..
