Stepping Stones Through Portals

Well folks, here we are again.

Yet another Monday of the April month.

And we are only just a few days away from the month of May.

Which means Summer is like tomorrow.

And Christmas won’t be far behind.

How can we get Father Time to slow down?!

If you have any suggestions about how to do that, I will gladly hear you out.

Anyhoo, let’s get down to business.

Grab your favorite Spring beverage, open the windows for that fresh air, cuddle up with a blanket, and read on!

A little over a year ago, I started work with Ryan Chalfant…also known as The Fitness Alchemist.

And during one of our very first video calls, we talked about the imagery of stepping stones through portals.

And this past week during our video call, the imagery and discussion of stepping stones leading to portals came up again.

It was a beautiful conversation that lead to goosebumps and chills for both of us.

Just over a year ago, I decided to take charge and hold myself accountable for my gym journey of fitness.

And I have stuck to that promise and stepped on the stones to a better body of muscle building.

Just over a year ago, I made the choice to sell Sunshine Cottage and move back to Lititz for some apartment life.

They were the stepping stones through a portal that led to a fresh new start at Sunshine Studio while being closer to my family, jobs, church, and all the things that keep me feeling fulfilled.

About a year ago, I had an official Zoom audition for my favorite game show of all time, Wheel of Fortune.

The was a stepping stone through a portal that had been in the making for YEARS with all the audition applications and videos I had created.

And more about that portal will be coming in a few weeks…

Which means…

STAY TUNED!

Over the past year, I’ve made efforts to be more honest and have even more fun with those closest to me trying to indulge in every single moment of quality time.

And with those stepping stones, I’ve gone through the portal of quality time with my own self.

That’s right.

Date nights with myself.

They are glorious, peaceful, and rejuvenating.

And they are all something each of us should be doing.

We all need to be stepping on stones through the portal of spending quality time with ourselves.

To trust oursevles.

And most importantly, to love ourselves.

As the April showers and May flowers continue to show themselves to us, I see even more imagery and opportunities for the stepping stones ahead of me…

…And the portals that are awaiting me to walk through.

So, cheers to the stepping stones and portal that lie ahead of me.

And smiling through the entire journey.

Sprinkle sunshine always,

JP!
