It’s funny … when I think about the past 8 months or so since I started this blog, so much has happened. My whole purpose was to present the positive, to shine the light, to help my readers (and myself) to see the silver lining in every cloud. You might think that would come from having a blessed life, with all the great things handed to me and nothing ever going wrong … but really that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s only through dealing with adversity that we’re able to learn, to grow.
Over the past 8 months, I’ve certainly had those opportunities. I’ve written about challenges in health, weight, self-esteem, work, family, and loss. Through all of it, I’ve found ways to see that it wasn’t always all bad … that even in the worst of it, there was something good to hold on to. Even now, as I sit in my grandmother’s apartment writing this, I am comforted by her presence that will always be with me.
