Greetings and Thank you! - 10/24/2009 3:06 PM ( #1 )
Hello All,

Jude reminded me the other day that I hadn't been on here in ages, a year and a half to be exact. Please know that you have all been in my thoughts. When I returned I was extremely happy to read everyone's progress and glad to know some of my dear friends are still here and still staying strong.

As for me I wanted to thank you all for your help and support and prayers. Over the last year loads has happened. I lost my job in America in Feb and took a huge risk, cashed in my savings, and moved to England. I just felt it was what God was calling me to do. I had no job, no place to live, nothing except my savings. (which is now gone hee hee) Here I am 8 months later and the changes in my life are amazing. I am working for a cosmetics company and living happily in my cute little flat in England. I love it. And amazingly enough I have finally found the courage to do what I know my Angels have been whispering in my ear for ages......at 34 years old I have gone back to school to study natropathic medicine and am tossing around the idea of getting my MD. Insane! I have completely started over and I love it!

I wanted to say that this move/experience was not what I expected. I expected I was being sent to England to find love, get married, have kids, etc. Which may still be in the works.......what I've realized however is that moving to England was to find my greater purpose. To show me that absolutely nothing can stand in your way when you go after your true calling, what your heart is telling you loudly to do. No matter how large or how crazy it seems you can make your dreams come true, and somewhere along the way you will find yourself. Friends and family thought I was insane for moving to England with no job and no support. Months later they are all very happy and surprised to see the change in me! And I've learned that sometimes our prayers get answered in a way we don't expect it......because I did fall in love......with my life!!!

So it is with this posting I thank you all for the prayers you have said for me over the past two years. Without your help and support I don't think I would have had the faith to take this huge risk and follow my dreams and finally get on my true path. Somewhere in the back of my head when the road got to hard I heard your whispers of prayers cheering me on. You are one amazing group of people and I am thankful my angels lead me to you.

So here is to you all! May God bless you abundantly, may your path always be clear, and may you find love in each and every moment of your lives.

Much love,
Tara

Before I read Sparrow's reply I was thinking how coincidental it was that Sparrow and I had been saying that love doesn't turn out the way we imagine it will........but we know there are no coincidences, don't we?
 
Dear Tara, I too am delighted to read of your life changes and hope all those dreams really do come true. You've made a good start.
 
Many Blessings,
Jude
Love is the only way
