#itestify: Locked doors and lost keys to our hearts...

I have had a tremendous first 9 months of 2014. 

I have been challenged and pushed. 

I have learned a lot about myself; who I am at my very core and what makes me tick. 

I have found the keys to doors in my heart..that I thought would never be opened. 

Now, I am taking the brave steps to see what lives in those long locked away places.

I have found some of it to be painful. 

I had to let some of it go and bury the rest. 

But, I've also found beauty; 

pieces of my heart that needed to be dusted off and allowed to flourish. 

I have experienced both the joys and pains of self reflection and growth this year.

and I am grateful for it.

Love you much,
