Beautiful as always ❤️👍 And it took me 3 days to read it….. I was avoiding it and it’s title too….thinking of this past year with all the “1st” you all had without your Mom… a tough time on top of the pandemic… my first year without my Mom is a blur now these many years later… just remember the cycling valleys as really lowest of the lows… sending you much luv and hugs 💞💞
You writing helps karen~I needed this~ I spent my life afraid of my feelings~ I was 40 when I went on a journey to find myself~ It was long and painful~ but I am 73 and content with my life~ happy I have shared it with someone I love deeply~ for 33 years~ it was hard for my spouse and I coming out~ bad and good~ mean things said to us~ but my sons and grandsons love us both~ ❤️I tell myself I am enough!
Thank you for the honesty of this post, and for the beautiful pictures that are balm for my soul. This Christmas has been one fraught with feelings for me as well. I always miss my family at this time of year, but this year I've also experienced a sort of nameless anxiety that has been hard to quell. So I'm going to use even this less-than-pleasant feeling as a teachable moment on faith and openness to whatever comes in the new year. I know I am called to make some definitive changes in my life, and stepping out into the unknown is probably where some of this low-level dread is coming from. Nonetheless, step out I must, as ultimately it's all for my good and a blessing. May you have a blessed 2022, Karen.
