It’s about time don’t you think? I always seem to have the greatest intentions when it comes to blogging, and life gets in my way Every. Single. Time. The last 12-18 months have been quite a ride. I’m only now starting to feel like life is leveling out.
In the last 12-18 months I’ve managed to get my oldest son in for an autism evaluation, my littlest son had surgery on a veinous malformation, I went on an Alaskan Cruise with three small children (not a small task mind you!), my now ex-husband got sepsis, I got separated, divorced, fell in love, lost a few friends, sold my house, moved into what I consider a tiny house, and got a part time job. Whew. Just writing it all down makes my own head spin.
Each of the above comes with it’s own story, my own perspective, hurts and healings. With faith and trusting in the growth that sometimes comes at the darkest and brightest times, we’re all finding a new normal. This new normal doesn’t look anything like the old. In fact, at first glance, many might question the sanity of it all. But in reality, and if you’ve had any chance at all to observe, you’d see how peaceful and filled with love it is. It’s made up of small things, small moments, small spaces, small victories, filled with a warmth, a love, an environment of trust, mutual respect, and understanding. It’s a safe place where we are all working together to make each other better. And really, isn’t that how it should be?
It’s only now that there is a little distance between each of these life altering events that I find I have the head-space to even consider sharing some of what I’ve experienced. And I do think it’s important to share our experiences, especially if some of what you have experienced might help another. To be clear, I am flawed. I’m not an expert at any topic except my own life. And aren’t we all? Experts at our own life, just doing the very best we can navigating the challenges and blessing of our existence.
More to come....
