Living with heart-stopping instability has helped me get better acquainted with life’s changes — big and small. It has helped me figure out how to live more purposefully, to appreciate more fully, to let go more easily. It has helped me see my story more expansively. I don’t have to be one thing or another, life doesn’t have to be good or bad, beginning or ending, failure or success. I don’t need to limit my experience one teensy weensy bit. 

And neither do you.

All of our stories are about meeting changes. We get a new job or partner. Things come together. They fall apart. They never come together. They are better or worse than ever. We think all is lost. It never, ever is.
