So I have fallen off the face of the Earth for awhile again... I'm choosing to call it recovery. This past year has been a series of life-changing... or more aptly called: "life-taking" events, that have blindsided me much like a serious stroke that you never see coming until you suddenly can't move the left side of your body.
The first was divorcing the man I have been married to for 11 years, closely followed by my 19yr old brother's heart attack and the news he needed a 2nd heart transplant. Soon after that it was apparent I would be losing my house and my status as "Stay-at-home-domestic-goddess-and-CEO" which was a title I absolutely loved. I restarted my buried Massage Therapy business, short-saled my house, found a beautiful/affordable town home and moved my brood.
How did I survive? Honestly I have no idea... I chose to believe that G-d in all his infinite wisdom decided that I needed to grow. So many little blessings keep landing in my lap and I know He is responsible for the gifts. My perspective is that now I have a set of life skills so strong I could literally survive the apocalypse and actually thrive afterwards!
So I am settled and itching to get back to the more creative side of my life now that surviving is turning back into living.... It's the journey right?
Wow. Your story sounds like mine about 3 years ago. I clung to Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
