5.2.24 - Appreciate your journey

Good morning ,

I used to spend a lot of my days wishing for more and wondering why somebody else had it, but I didn't. Social media doesn't help when every time you scroll through your newsfeed you see someone taking the vacation you haven't been on, or sharing a new accomplishment when you feel like all you have is mistakes and hardship. After time I realized no one is posting what went wrong.  No one is sharing their struggles or toxic traits.

After time I stopped comparing my life and my journey to others. When I stopped worrying about what everyone else has and how they got this or that, I could spend more time focusing on what God has given me and what to do with them. A lot of time we focus on the materialistic things God has given us, but what about the fruit of the Spirit? What about spiritual gifts? There is so much more to life than things. 

April was a great reminder to appreciate my journey. While I am no where near where I thought I would be, I have learned to appreciate where I am. I find the little things that happen help prepare me for the bigger things coming my way. When I look back over the last 10 years so much has changed. While I am not proud of everything that has happened, I am here, and I am able to share my experiences in hopes to help others.  

I want to remind you to appreciate your journey. The good, the bad, the pain, the joy, the discomfort, the excitement, the losses, the wins - God can use all of it. No matter where you are, be content with what you have. 

I appreciate you being a part of my community. It's always more than skin care :)

If this email has helped you please share it with someone you know. 

Love,
Danielle
