Stepping Stones

"All misfortune is but a stepping stone to fortune."  Henry David Thoreau

Here's an inspirational piece from reinvention catalyst, Eli Davidson, who lost her marriage, business and health all at the same time, and survived, nay thrived by using the experience as an opportunity to reinvent herself.

I especially like this takeaway...

You Are Not Your Stuff.  Your essence is so much bigger than that big metal thing you park in your garage or the fine clothes hanging in your closet. Take 15 minutes. Breathe in and out of your heart. If you have a spiritual practice, now is the time to use it. That quiet time focused on Spirit or what I call 'The Great Good" can help you get above the panic of "what the hell will I do now?"
