Don’t Forget How Far You’ve Come

Keep Going

Ten years ago, I was grieving the loss of my first miscarriage. It was scary, sad, and confusing. Ten years before that, I was fighting for my life. Not due to drugs or alcohol, but from heavily toxic environments. I didn’t fully understand why they were wrong. I don’t think many people did back then, but I knew something wasn’t right.

Now today, I know my value. I know how to set clear boundaries with consistency without being so rigid that I can’t breathe. I have deep and profound peace when it comes to giving myself time to recharge. I meditate, write, and chase my dreams while constantly examining my values.

This is who I am because I can’t afford to be anything else. All those things I learned taught me how to live. I feel like I didn’t know how to live for a long time, but I can say with all sincerity, that I absolutely love being alive. I’m grateful for every morning I get to wake up and do all the things I love. (There are so many things.)

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
