Living in the possibilities and pursuing purpose.
This is a double life. Battling sorrow and grief of someone who still lives, and beaming with positive energy as I move forward. I don’t pretend, I’m not wearing a temporary mask with a drawn on smile. I choose joy.
A peaceful spirit changes things. It limits your reactions and creates a space for wisdom to lead. Peace settles within, and as we embrace this gift, joy enters and plants itself in our inner being. It is the assurance that all is well between us and God.
Is it possible to go on when our children are alive but not living? Are we destined to remain in their addiction with them? Does the pressure from society and being the parent needing to fix this weigh on you?
"Lord, do I have enough in me to handle this"
Apart from Christ, we remain imprisoned to self. We will seek more until we submit to something higher.
I hoped my words would change your thoughts. If I could convince you of your potential, ability, strength, and power, then you would embrace your worth and value. I thought if I spoke it to you loud and long enough, you would believe and find your confidence again.
Winter is a hard time for me, and everything from my mood to my metabolism and energy seems to respond negatively to cold, short days. I have battled seasonal depression for years, and I must intentionally keep myself above the waves of emotional mess.
I tried to be the strong warrior for all, in fact my words were still fierce and meaningful. Unfortunately, the auto pilot mechanism of helping others, never applied to me.
Within addiction, I grasp the realness of a complex problem. Outside of addiction, in the every day hurt of drinking enough to hurt those around you, I am lost.
Mental illness and stay at home orders.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
Grace for Today. Hope for Tomorrow.
