What I Wish I Knew 10 years ago that I know Now

The year 2012 was a big year in my life, full of accomplishments and events that would change the course of my life in the best ways possible.

I launched my first television show. I completed my first year of a career I loved.

We bought a house and adopted our little furbabies, Sherlock & Watson.

We went to Disney World.

And we finished out the year by getting engaged in the most beautiful way possible.

All in all, it was an amazing year. I was riding on a high. But there are so many things that have happened since then, some hard, some wonderful. But all have continued to shape me and the course of my life. Here is what I wish I knew 10 years ago that I know now.

That in just a year I would go through one of the most difficult times in my life. And that difficult time would be one of the best things that happened to me.

That I would have a beautiful wedding.

That I would get to cover the Pope’s visit to the United States.

That I would get to take my dream trip to Paris.

That I would have the most beautiful baby girl.

That I didn’t have to stick with the same career for the rest of my life. That I would actually be a really good entrepreneur.

That I would start a podcast with a woman I met at a bar.

But there is a reason that we don’t know what’s in our future. I’ve been realizing lately that I have to let go of planning every single detail of my life, especially after having my miscarriage earlier this year. Sometimes you just have to trust in something or someone bigger to lead you down the path and just hope you end up where you belong.
