We are in the final few weeks leading into the 4th year of our survival after trauma and loss. It is just now that I can feel we are beginning to thrive.....
Four years seems like a long ways to go through the process of grief, and I can tell you what life looked like throughout each of those moments in time. What it felt like and who was involved in it. You cannot be afraid to let go after suffering a loss, because that was only the beginning for me....
There was a process of letting go of more than my late husband..... As this community was established, my soul was exposed. My expressions changed and I adapted to a whole new language, a way of communicating that is universal. I see it in my everyday speech and will keep sharing my heart.
My work life is pretty crazy, but it's a good crazy. Partnering with Christina Acerra has been a very good fit, as our goals align, talents compliment each other, and we have fun smile emoticon My marketing skills are growing and creative juice are flowing. October is a record month. Outstanding in fact.
Lots to learn in the Keystone Region Volleyball office, but I am as eager as ever. I'm not sure how these two career paths will merge, but I know I am at the right places at the right times and seasons in my life. Oh, and then there's my writing smile emoticon I know I am nuts lol.
My daughter and I have a business meeting planned for tomorrow, to map out her present and future plans. They will definitely include the sport smile emoticon I am glad to see her happy, as she and Evan enjoy the present, talk about the future.... and speak the "language" of love. smile emoticon
I regularly recall a passage in a book of the Bible, where the Apostle Paul speaks of his ability to adapt to any given situation. Of course I am paraphrasing, but to be who another person needs me to be, in a caring and genuine way, is really a gift to give someone. I call it "knowing"......
I hope that I am a person who can make those adaptations, so others can feel comfortable, share themselves with me, or open their hearts to hear me. I have met one such special person in the last few months...... and will begin sharing my "love language" with you over the next few weeks....
Happiness is abounding. My cup is overflowing.
