Gateways to New Beginnings

Valerie Rickel :: Soulful Living

“Nothing is predestined. The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.
—Ralph Blum

Good morning and happy Friday! I have a Visual Inspiration for you today featuring a favorite “New Beginnings” quote that I hope might inspire some creative new ways of thinking about our lives. Can we look at the obstacles in our lives differently? Can they be transformed into gateways that move us forward into a new future? I encourage you to set aside some time this weekend to consider the possibilities. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Leave your comments below and let’s have a conversation about it!

Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend ♥

    Hi, Valerie–New Beginnings…I am in crisis. I have had bipolar disorder for many years and have done very well–until the start of December. I went through a manic phase for a month. It was wonderful. I didn’t want it to end. But…it did end recently in a severe crash. I am not doing well but am under the care of an excellent doctor. It will be a while though before I level out once more–I pray. For some reason, I made myself check email last night. I haven’t done this for about a month and a half. I reluctantly opened my soulful living. It was the first deep breath I’ve taken in I can’t remember when. I’ll have to go back to past January missives as I can. Thank you.

    • Hi Katie! Oh, my goodness! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m so happy you opened the email and so pleased to hear that it was helpful to you ♥ Thank you so much for being part of our Soulful Living family! I wish you the very best and my healing prayers are with you!! Love and blessings, Valerie

    Dear Valerie, thank GOD I have your wonderful website to assist me many many times. This message came to me in the right moment to make me think about something I’ve been struggling with since 2 years ago when I came home to live and look after my mom which is definitely not easy. I just need to thank you for make me think about my challenges in a different way. Even being so far away (I’m from Brazil), I feel your words close to me. Kisses and hugs. Raquel

    • Hi Raquel, I’m so happy to hear that this message helped prompt new thinking about your current challenges. It’s very meaningful to me to know it helped you! Thank you for being part of our family! Love and blessings, Valerie ♥
