Holy Interruptions

I decided I might as well begin. There's no need to wait until the New Year to start something new. That's almost a guarantee it won't last long. The remaining few weeks at the end of the year reminds me of all the things I had hoped to do by year's end but didn't. No shame that I didn't, but sometimes I end up squeezing one or two in at the last minute. Funny, isn't it?

Even though my plans this year fell apart right off the bat, the one major goal for the year got done.....my website. Yay! Yes, please celebrate with me!

The year behind me was nothing short of a roller coaster, starting in January when my mom decided it was time to stop chemo and its terrible treatment of her. For 2 years she fought stage 4 Cancer, and the wonderful angels at Hospice took over her care in February.

I tried to live life as normal as possible but normal was no where to be found.

After months of traveling back and forth, living with Mom for a big portion of that time, we buried her in July on her 70th birthday. The process of one dying leaves no one unscarred. My body and mind suffered greatly. The remaining half of the year was spent recovering and restoring my own body, mind, and spirit, and chasing our finances around like a feral cat.

Giving up my expectations of this year did not compare with the treasure I found in the concentrated time I spent with my mom. NO regrets.

Holy Interruptions. Life is FULL of them.

And life is FULL because of them.

So, I'm going to try this again, another beginning, another try toward consistency and focus.

I make no promises. Another holy interruption may unknowingly lay ahead.

What will this space be exactly? No promises on that either. I need an audience, a people to talk to while I unpack all the things I've been lugging around. Will you be my people?

Great!

While I'm unpacking I imagine there will be some treasures for all of us. This space will be a little bit everything. Some poetry, some questions to ponder, books I'm reading, some really good one liners.

I also leave space for you. Thanks for being here.

Let's move into a big deep breath. Let's grab each other's hand and say, "It's going to be ok."

All the love,
