It has been unseasonably warm for November here in Boston. The nip in the air caught me off guard last night when I stepped outside to drive my daughter to a friend's house. For me, cold temps go hand in hand with all things comforting... warm throws, crackling fires and yummy treats such as Coffee Cake Bites which are on my to-do list. I plan on savoring one while I catch up on my blog reading which I've been so dearly missing.
The change in temperature is just one of many changes for me. Even though my future is looking uncertain at the moment, I have a tremendous sense of peace. It's like I'm shielded within the quiet confines in the middle of the storm. Even with the frenzy that an upcoming storm predicts there is also a buzz of excitement about it. That's where I am. Excited for what the future has is store. Unaffected by difficulties that the will surely come my way. Peaceful, because I trust I am part of a bigger plan and there are better things in store for me. There is nothing that compares to truly tapping into the life you were meant to lead.
Has your life ever taken a complete detour? Did the experience make you blossom in adversity?

I am so glad to hear this Debbie! this is your moment! have you heard God only gives 3 answers to a prayer: yes, not yet and I have something better in mind.. well this is your moment and I think you are just letting god act. I also feel the change together with the weather and want to take advantage of it.
ReplyDeleteA sense of peace is vital for a happy and cheerful life. Glad to hear you are feeling good.

This is my first visit to your blog. Good luck to you in whatever lies ahead. I hope it works out the way you want it to.
ReplyDeleteI love your posiitive energy and I can almost feel your inner peace jumping off the page! Such a great thing, something tells me you are going to be more than alright, you are going to be great, and better than ever. Sending you a very warm and healthy wish for a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteGod is so good and creative and trustworthy...that peace that passeth all understanding is such a blessed gift that He gives...I am in the midst of it as well. I love facing each day with anticipation of what He has for me...if you had told me just three years ago that I would become a style blogger, i would have fallen down laughing!! But I love it and God knew that I would!!
ReplyDeleteso lovely i love it
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well dear Debby. Better things are coming for you and you are a lovely person. I'm not goin through an easy time now either but am not going to wallow and do what I can.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!

This is so wonderful, Debby! I'm so excited for you! I was thrown a major curve ball a few years ago, and it has been absolutely life-changing. Tough at times (and still), of course, but so many blessings have poured out and it has brought me so much closer to God. There's no worthier outcome. Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, by the way! :)
These images are so warm and cozy. I can't think of anyone that will handle a little detour better...great things are definitely in store for such a talent!!
ReplyDeleteLovely post! Sometimes relinquishing control is the best thing we can do for ourselves. I often find peace in new beginnings, and I am glad to hear you are too! You are such a positive inspiration to us all!
ReplyDeleteYES Debby! I recently had a HUGE setback with someone I thought was going to be my "partner" instead they stole all my ideas and kicked me to the curb! Although my plans are detoured I know there is a plan for me that is bigger and better :)
ReplyDeleteNEW MOTTO: If god brings you to it, he will bring you through it.
I love all things cozy and welcome warm fires, cozy throws, cold temps and a glass of great red wine. Hope all is ok with you! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is your time to shine, sweetie! So glad that you have such a wonderful attitude about it all. Uncertainty can be frightening but it often leads us to a better place :)

This has absolutely happened to me and in the long run, everything worked out for the better even if I couldn't see it in that exact moment. Hope the same for you! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that bed positioned in the middle of the room and facing the windows! I think that's a great way to start a day-- looking out at the world.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you, Debby! My life hasn't been the smoothest sailing at times lately either, but the harder times give me a chance to pause, take a deep breath and be consciously thankful for the simplest things, like just being alive!

Oh Debby! This is such a fantastic post for so many reasons. Life detours can be frustrating but what I love about them is that you know they take you to the intended direction. That's what detours are, right?
ReplyDeleteYou have such a way with words. Thanks for this beautiful post.
Debby, I love these pictures today! They are beautiful and perfect complements of one another. I hope you are staying warm as the cold weather hit Boston!! Happy Happy Turkey Week xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe pictures all look so cozy. Have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteI hope all is OK. Sending thoughts and prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteI agree, cold weather goes hand in hand with all things comfy. It's just starting to get "cold" here in SoCal. And by that I mean the 60s.
