Why is This Happening to Me?
There are times in each of our lives when we throw up our hands and ask why me? Many get bogged down in frustration, anger, and blaming of others, God or themselves. Unfortunately, if those feelings take hold they overshadow the positive that lies within each experience. One of the most important cornerstones of my spiritual beliefs is that if it is happening, it is supposed to be happening, or it wouldn't be happening. And the worst the experience is, the more painful or heartbreaking, the greater the lessons to be learned. With this view of the "bad" things that happen, it softens the pain.
When I was going through the horrible experience of the break-up of my 27 year marriage, I kept asking for help in sorting out the lessons that were there to be mined, like veins of gold. Because I stayed open to the lessons that were hidden in each tear-filled experience, I was able to grow into a much happier, more fulfilled woman than I could have imagined or hoped for. I have thanked my ex husband many times for giving me those painful lessons that turned out to be the greatest blessings of my life.
