Bright,

Where are YOU in YOUR Journey?

I'm writing this for myself as much as I am for you today. This morning, I kinda feel like the heap of dust and dirt you have left after sweeping the kitchen floor. I'm looking around and thinking, "How is it possible I can find my way out of this mess and create order and calm for my kids and I?"

Sooooo, let's look at the facts. What have you survived/succeeded with so far???

For me:

It's been more than two years. My life was turned upside down overnight. I've survived infidelity, blatant rejection by someone I was devoted to completely, rejection by his family, financial insecurity, possible foreclosure...

I've succeeded in helping my daughter graduate despite her moments of suicidal depression and a weekend in jail. I managed to help her find her way to her dream college and, overall, I'm thrilled with her success.

I've parented against some really topsy-turvy odds and stuck by my kids. I started a business...

This is as much your journey as it is his. We didn't choose it, but maybe God chose FOR US because He saw us settling for a life less than what we deserved.

I see you desperately trying to read the signs and the stars and your H. You simply cannot control what he thinks, says, does, feels. Plain and simple.

I think this is where faith comes into play. Believe this is all unfolding the way it's meant to. Believe and give yourself credit for how far you've come. Build on it.

What's the thing you are the most afraid of?

Much Love,

Heather
