Revisiting and Staying A While

Wow it’s been 4 years since I have written a blog in here. So much has happened in the world. I feel like life paused in a sense yet kept moving. I don’t really even know how to explain that, but given we all experienced the pandemic, I think most people will understand what I mean.

I have been feeling out of sorts lately, as though I am not living my purpose. I started to do this years ago and, in a sense, I feel like putting my thoughts into words helped me and so many people sharing the same experiences as me. I stopped for a while because I was afraid to be vulnerable around people. Especially people that actually know me in real life. Even people that contributed to the pain I speak of. However, I realize that being raw is necessary. It doesn’t matter who reads it or what people say, there are people that need my experiences to help them cope and get through their own. In no way am I a professional at this. I just had to figure out how to rise above my emotions and troubles. I can’t even lie and say I did it gracefully. There were times that I was a hot mess. I may have handled things immaturely and it hindsight, even those reactions are a lesson.

With this blog I want to take it back to the beginning. Though the emotions aren’t as raw as if I was writing the story as it happened, the memory is still vivid in my mind. I want to detail life from the beginning of divorce to now, as my children recently graduated high school. Life as I know it is changing and those feelings of emptiness creep in my heart at times. Empty nesting is real and I want to be here helping us all get through it together.

I hope whoever stumbles on this blog leaves feeling better than when you found it.

Hi, my name is Mercy. While I’m currently a positive person, I obviously didn’t start out this way. My journey started over 16 years ago when I got divorced. I was 27 years old, with two small kids ages 2 and 3 with very little income. I was working in customer service and I had no college degree. I was at the brink of losing my home and my car. I could barely make ends meet. My emotions were all over the place. I was distraught and never thought I would see the light at the end of the tunnel. One day, I was surfing the internet desperately searching for ways to heal. I knew there was something more to life. I was tired of searching for happiness in the wrong places. I knew I needed to get my life together for my children. I stumbled on a blog about law of attraction. The woman had created a vision board so that she could visualize all of the goals she had for her life. I figured it could not hurt so I hopped in the car, headed for the store and purchased all the essentials for creating a vision board. I started the board as soon as I got home. On the board I added that I would like to obtain my bachelors degree, would like to have a car, save my home, emotional stability and a well paying job. Within a few years, EVERYTHING on my board manifested. Some would call that coincidence, but I like to think that I affirmed my vision. Since this magical board success, I have coached countless visionaries in creating their vision boards. The more people reach out to share their success stories after my guidance, the more I realize that this is what I was supposed to do with my life. I am looking forward to helping countless more as I expend my vision of helping people find their voice and path. ​ "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why." -Mark Twain
