The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie

by Rachel Linden

“It’s later in life we get good at lying to ourselves.”

Move toward the light in life; seek it out no matter what. This is the essence of what it means to follow your bliss. You must be honest. Pay attention. Seek joy.”

So maybe that was the reality, that we sacrifice no matter what path we choose.

But, honey, nothing is worth holding on to if it’s holding you back. It’s okay to let something go if it’s time to move on.”

“There are lots of ways to make a good life, Lolly. Focusing on a career path is one, but there are many others.

“But the thing you’ll learn if you ever have children is that each one is their own person. You can’t superimpose your own vision for their future on them. You have to let them find their own way.”

“There’s a kernel of truth in some of the most unlikely places.”

Often we say “impossible” when what we really mean is “unknown.”

I reminded myself of the truth I now knew. That you don’t need magic to change your life. You just need to follow your bliss as best you can. If you follow the light, no matter how dark the circumstances, things will come out right in the end.
