A Beautiful Life

July 9, 2016 ~ storiesbykate ~ 1 Comment

  Midlife  At some other point in my life, waking up to a day that's gray would make me feel blue. Today, I'm just grateful that those days are over. Maybe they'll pop up occasionally, which is expected. But in general, I've learned to take the beauty of each day, and each moment as it comes. … Continue reading A Beautiful Life

Meeting Hope The grief journey has brought me so many amazing, and grace-filled moments I would never, ever have dreamed about. Meeting NY Times best selling author Hope Edelman was one such golden moment. In 1981 we were both 16. She lost her mother in the summer before her senior year; I lost my dad in April 1981. Out of her grief was born “Motherless Daughters” which stayed on The NY Times bestseller list for 24 weeks. Hope has written five books, is a much sought after speaker on mother loss, runs Motherless Daughters retreats, and is a personal coach. Her own personal loss journey has inspired and propelled her towards her life work. I am in awe of her body of work, but more so her kindness and generosity in making time for me that afternoon in Brentwood. With Hope’s guidance, I now look forward to putting together and starting Motherless Daughters support groups in the Philippines next year. ❤️ #thisis55🌿 Lesson #24 Work towards your dreams and if it’s part of God’s plan for you, it will happen at the right time and place. Lesson #25. Your grief and loss will take you to places and moments you never would have imagined, stay open always.
This. The best thing you can give someone this season is love. Be extra patient. Be extra kind. ❤️
Arizona was all about family, and friends who are family. ❤️Finding a home in the heart, kindness, caring and warmth of the desert. Arizona was long road trips, and train rides, hearty breakfasts filled with love and laughter; watching Criminal Minds, the Good Doctor and The Irishman deep into the night with a dear friend. The warmth and love at the table of Thanksgiving lunch and dinner. Making new friends. Re-connecting with old friends. Raiding stores and antique shops on the Black Friday weekend. Beautiful churches. Endless stretches of cotton fields, gorgeous sunsets like no other. Koi, huskies, a cat named Joe, quiet Chloe, and smart as a whip, Brandy. Love, love, love all around. Thank you my Phoenix family for the footprints on my heart. No goodbyes. Until we meet again. ❤️ Lesson 22 : Friends are the family we chose. Lesson 23. : There is so much love and beauty to be found in the ordinary days. Pay attention. Lesson 24 : Kindness heals the heart. Lesson 25 : Make room in your heart for new people. #thisis55🌿
This is beautiful. Deep Rest contains the seed of new life. ❤️
