Rediscovering What Matters: Taking Time to Find Your Heart's Path

Sometimes, life pulls us in so many directions that we forget to pause and ask ourselves what truly matters. We get caught up in the grind of making a living, keeping up with responsibilities, and checking off endless to-do lists. But in the midst of all that hustle, it’s easy to lose sight of the things that feed our soul, the things that bring us joy, purpose, and happiness.

I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on this recently. You may have noticed that I stepped away from Go Happy Yourself for a while. The truth is, I needed to take my own advice and do some soul-searching. I needed to rediscover what truly mattered to me and find where my heart lies. And I realized something important: It’s okay to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. In fact, it’s necessary.

We all need to make a living, but we also deserve to do something that lights us up inside. It’s not always easy to strike that balance between responsibility and passion, but it’s possible. For me, stepping back gave me the clarity to come back with more intention, more heart, and more focus on what truly aligns with my soul’s purpose.

I took this opportunity to make the decision to leave my job in Maryland and move back to Florida. I wanted so much to make Maryland work. I loved my condo, and I made really great friends there. I also tried to convince myself that a "place" a "location" couldn't make you happy. Well, I am happy to say that I was wrong about that. Being back in Florida truly makes me happy! I'm finally warm again, (although the air-conditioning around here is no joke!) I started my own business, and have made wonderful new friends. The best part is, that I still remain very much connected to my friends in Maryland/DC.

Go Happy Yourself has always been about helping others find happiness within themselves. And while my path took a bit of a detour, it was the best thing I could have done—for myself and for this community. Now, I’m ready to dive back in and share what I’ve learned, starting with how to truly listen to your inner voice and take the steps to nurture your soul.

Let’s rediscover what matters, together. If you’ve ever felt the need to take a step back and find your own direction, I’m here for that journey. It’s never too late to realign your life with what makes your heart sing.
