Pain – It is Not a Competition!
It is not
a competition,
there is enough
pain to go
around
#JustBelieve #HopeLives #LoveChangesPeople
Everyone’s pain, sorrow and hurt is unique; not quite the same. We all must walk through our own valley of the shadow and all we can do is walk with someone, supporting and encouraging along the way. Why is it then that we compare and compete with each other about whose pain is greatest?
Is there some special prize that I am not aware of? Is it our human nature to be on top, to feel superior to others whether in reality or just to have bragging rights? Who’s to say, other than we all carry pain and sorrow in this life and no one is left wanting in this.

Promises to Keep – A Memoir
My 25 word memoir of grief.
As I work on my full length memoir I have read several books, both how-to and memoir’s as research. In the book “Braving the Fire” by Jessica Handler, she mentions the shortest story of grief attributed to Ernest Hemingway, who is said to have written the following six word memoir
“For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn.”
Six words, that’s t leaves the reader wondering with unanswered questions. I haven’t gotten mine down to six words yet, but I will keep working on it.
In the meantime I continue working on the ‘shitty‘ first draft of my full-length memoir. I will be posting excerpts here on the blog soon, watch for more information to come and be sure to subscribe via your email to make sure you don’t miss any updates.
And remember grief is a shared human experience that we all must face. Grief is a natural extension of love and the lie is that we are either destined to live in utter despair forever or we somehow are completely healed. This is nonsense for grief irrevocably changes you, how could it not? You carry the experience with you for the rest of our life.

Redemption… (part 3)
We search for redemption and forgiveness in the quiet moments of the days that make up our very lives.
And when we find it we are set free from the chains that bind us and the obligations that smother the fires that from our hearts burn so bright.

You are so much more than ORDINARY!
Redemption… (part 2)
Is there enough forgiveness for sins repeated? While searching for redemption and we kept messing up despite our good intentions.
