A Season of Reflection

 
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up,”
Christine J. Collins 
 

This has been in my season of reflection.

I have been studying my past in order to understand myself now. As I pull the past and present together, I see my future as well as any human can in our uncertain world.  

I’ve torn down, I’ve rebuilt. I’ve laughed and I’ve cried, mourning precious lost souls gone far too soon. 

Now is time to gather my stories in order to share and heal. 

This is for each of you… 

The ones who have fought some difficult battles.

The ones who are currently navigating grief and loss.

The ones who are healing.

The ones who have healed.

The ones who feel alone.

The ones who help those who are alone.

The ones who are scared.

The ones who share their truth no matter how hard it might be.

The ones who love unconditionally.

The ones who are trying to do better.

The ones who do the work.

The ones who are growing and evolving every day.

The ones who help others because someone helped you.

The ones who can’t stop crying.

The ones who extend a hand to others.

The ones who accept the extended hand.

You are brave, you are stronger than you know… and please know… you are not alone. We are all in this together and I whisper to each of you, “you got this.”
