Life has a way of being unkind.
Maybe my decisions made it that way but it was preparing me for a greater purpose.
Writing. Journaling. Metaphorically expressing my thoughts and emotions to paper was a great way of knowing that my deepest pain and secrets would stay right where I put them with no escape until I wanted to share them.
Preparing me for a greater purpose...
I was born and raised in a small town with little opportunities filled with so many unrecognized gifts.
I didn't know how to use my gift.
The military took me in.
There, I found my home away from home. He blessed me with my first child.
But that home fell apart.
Came back to empty hopes and dreams.
Searching for home.
Got married young.
Our bond was pulled apart when a piece of me was taken away. We lost our child.
Trying to hold on to broken pieces...
Mended back together momentarily...
We were blessed with another child.
Then, another.
Unknowingly, they were the glue.
Life was still unkind.
Preparing me for a greater purpose...
Searching for a new home away from home, we made way to Virginia.
Years later, I realized that it wasn't life that was unkind but the person I shared life with was unkind.
The bond was officially broken in 2018.
I began to see a vision.
Writing. Journaling.
Preparing me for a greater purpose...
In July 2022, I self published my first book.
Life is always purposeful.
