beginnings

You are appreciated. You are loved. I am grateful and thankful to every reader, commenter, and person liking my posts. You aid in my healing and being seen. Encouragement, advice, helpful hands, love with support have been poured out over the screen. Some from friends and family and others from complete strangers. Yet even those I’ve never met have seen the most vulnerable part of my heart, perhaps you are my family and friends too. I began writing to heal from the darkest years of my life in the midst of a dying toxic marriage nesseled in active addiction. God rebirthed my passion in my lowest place. A golden ember in the ashes, these pages have been a huge source of comfort in good and bad times. 

I was writing when no one knew I had a blog. Began writing and posting June of 2021. The blessing is I never thought I could be consistent but God saw that I would be and am. Going from one job in the old season of my life, to this new season I have three. Full time dishwasher at Whole Foods, part time server at Razzoo’s Cajun, and Uber Eats delivery to fill in the gaps. New church members have been a blessing. A gently used television to soothe my soul at night, a mattress topper that lulls me to sleep so sweetly. Gifted by church family, a huge blessing yet in order to receive it I had to humble myself and accept the help. 

More things are making their way to me. Hand open to receive and to give God has been better than good to me. In fact He is better than good to me that I may also be better than good to others.
