“Growth lives in the un-easiness, the in-between, the unfinished sentence. You are a season of becoming.”

Season of Becoming is a concept that I read about late in 2017.  Inspired by the poem with the same moniker, I loved the idea that even though I am in my 30s, my life and who I am is far from being set in stone.  I am in a perpetual state of evolving and growing into the person I want to be.  I am not static or defined by my circumstances.  I always have the power to change my narrative.

I have not turned out to be the person my parents thought I would be.  Indeed, I am not even turning out to be the person I thought I would be.  

If you would have told me 15 years ago that in my 30s I would be a pediatric dentist who loved to workout, had the best friends anyone could ask for, and a string of heartbreaks under my belt, I would not have believed you.  None of those things sound like the person I was back then.  

But that’s the beauty of life.  Some of it is wonderful, like being a pediatric dentist to (mostly) adorable children, and some of it has taken time to get used to (ahem, being single).  As it stands, I wouldn’t change my path and I continue to try to shape the person I am becoming.

This blog is my journey.  Along the way, I’ve learned a lot about following my dreams, having meaningful friendships, conquering failures, experiencing heartbreak, loving my body, and taking care of it.  I’ve also made just about every mistake you could make as well.  

I invite you to join me and maybe we can grow together.
