There have been times, beloveds, when I wondered if I really would recover mentally/ financially from the devastation of the tornado, of losing mom, of the upheaval of moving to a state I had never lived in, of fighting life alone for the past 9 years.
There are times when I wonder still.
I am healing. Slowly. I am growing. Methodically.
I have had many setbacks. Still, the setbacks are nothing more than setups for comebacks and steps for me to succeed.
I’m doing my best to keep moving forward. It is so easy to look backward at the comfort zone we used to have, isn’t it? I keep telling myself we have too much to do. We have come too far to look behind us now.
Last night I tossed and turned in bed, wondering what I was going to do with the rest of my life. It seems to be so vast. Where do I go now, I keep asking God? What do I do now, I keep asking The Universe? Is what I’m doing even making a difference, I keep asking Life?
Nothing is moving. Everything is silent. The silence makes me look harder. I don’t know why. In the past, the silence would have caused me to give up in despair and disappointment.
I no longer give myself the option to quit. I don’t care what happens. I don’t care how many videos get zeros views. I don’t care how many pieces get ignored.
My only focus is in encouraging as many people as I can, starting with myself.
Be encouraged. Your labor is not in vain.
asking for A Friend,

#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: I am living proof that you can keep on keeping on no matter what. You stay encouraged. You make sure you get your rest. You make sure to keep moving forward. Refuse to allow yourself to give up. I don’t care what happened. I don’t care if you have to go by yourself, just go. We got this.
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
