We've been MIA...trying to figure out how to be married living apart.  Not epic!  But we've learned a lot.  Going over the top few things this has taught us so far and why we think people who are married living together can benefit from the hard lessons we've learned along the way.

Invite empathy to your party, self pity always shows up uninvited, trashes the place, eats all the finger foods, and always tells jokes that make it awkward. Show self pity the door, it has no place at your table or mine.

But, my friends, the demons can be tamed. We have the ability to drain them of their power. Intentional, deliberate healing. Making healing our full time job. Healing comes slowly and it is always hard fought. The more we run from them, ignore them, or deny they exist…we only Prolong our suffering and increase our struggle.

Much of what you wish for, hope for…is on the other side of arming yourself with a good ol’ life- weathered map, lovingly and painfully charted with your own hand.

1st Interview with the man himself, Jason.  We got married about 2 months ago and he will be cohosting me in the future, so I thought it would be good to kick off an interview episode with him.  He talks about his journey and how he got to the version of himself he is today.  Dude is a legend.

It is with a heavy heart that brings me to Facebook once again to announce the passing of one of my own. Sometimes our lives take strange, winding roads.  Sometimes, we find ourselves in places we never imagined in our wildest of dreams.  Sometimes, life takes our breath away for wonderful reasons and sometimes for horrible reasons.  Sometimes, we feel as though life is cruising in the sunshine and sometimes it feels as though the torrent is unrelenting.  Sometimes, we turn a corner to find unexpected horror and sometimes unexpected beauty.

Today's  message is this:

Magic

Still

Exists

In 

The

World

Just like life can change in a moment for the worse, so it can with good.  You never know what awaits you in the next moment. If you choose to find it, if you choose to seek it, if you choose to change the way you see yourself and others, if you choose to…you will find magic.  It’s everywhere.  Little geocaches carefully placed by a loving Heavenly Father to keep hope and awe and wonder alive in a world that wants you to feel dark.

A wise widow friend once told me…”Grief has it’s demands and it will get them one way or another.”  Over time I have added upon that wisdom.  “You can either hand over the price we must all pay willingly, or you can withhold the price and it will be withdrawn from your soul by force.”
