I love these words. I received them, rolled lovingly into a mini scroll and tied with string, from a sweet server at a downtown restaurant, over a year ago. They were handwritten by her - she would randomly offer her words of encouragement to people she met everywhere in her life.
They meant a great deal to me then. They still do now. But, for different reasons.
When I received them - my life had been turned upside down in several life events that had me reeling in every imaginable way: my divorce was nearly finalized, I had met - unexpectedly fallen in love and was building a relationship with a beautifully sensitive and intelligent man, unbeknownst to me - my health was failing, my youngest child was recovering from a serious infection, my daughter had blessed me with a son-in-law, my middle son was finding his way through early adulthood without support from those he had trusted, I was rediscovering myself at break neck speed...life was moving faster than I had ever recalled.
In. Every. Direction.
It was profound. Exhilarating. Terrifying. Maddening. Shocking. Wonderful.
Several months prior to this - I had chosen to remain off of social media entirely to allow myself time for healing as well as to avoid hurting anyone else directly or indirectly involved around my life.
But now, more than 2 years later, I am ready to share life’s events again. There is too much goodness to not to. My family is thriving, healing, growing, full of wonderfully inspiring moments...
Besides, I’m rested, regenerating, and am in the midst of rising. It’s time to fully engage once again.
