I just want to take a sec to thank all of you who have been so supportive and encouraging about the whole bun in the oven thing. Some of you have even really listened in the last few days to me share my general state of disillusionment/identity crisis/not-so-excited feelings and thoughts, which is such a nice thing to be able to share and find acceptance and understanding. (Funny and touching story- a boss/client really warmed my heart today: upon hearing the news he rushed to hug me -several times- with tears in his eyes, kissing my cheek and saying “MAZAL TOV!” I really believe his fatherly excitement was a gift from God that I was needing, striking an emotional chord for me.)

It’s strange the way some situations are such a refining process, and even gift you with a glimpse at who in your life is truly worth their weight in gold. I am so fortunate to have such a loving community in my church, friends, colleagues, counselors and family. What might be thought of in one perspective as “cons”, they can see as something deeper and usher me into brokenness and trust with their gentle, selfless, honest words of wisdom. What did I do to deserve such grace? (The answer - NOTHING!)

This weekend the Hubs and I are headed out to a time of reflection and solitude in the woods, lol. Armed with a cooler of snacks and some books, and no plan whatsoever, we hope to go places we’ve never been before. I’m amazed by life.
