Like always, I have been reading a lot more as the weather gets colder and the nights get warmer. There is just something so special about an autumn evening, a lit candle, lounge wear and sitting with a good book. I have been reading two books in rotation, but I am really drawn to a particular one at the moment written by Jen Sincero.

I was reading some material online and I fell in love with the quote below:

‘I asked God for flowers and He gave me rain.’

I guess this caused me to reflect on my current situation with my separation and domestic abuse. If God removed someone from your life and it hurts, trust me it would have hurt even more if they had stayed. God sees what you can’t. Nothing kills you faster than your own mind. Don’t stress over things that are out of your control.

As I am typing this, I am actually smiling to myself. It is so easy to give out advice and say things to others but it is much more difficult to apply into your own life. I have spent my whole life stressing, about the endless steps and chapters in life. I stress about everything, big or small. But, slowly I am learning to let things go.

Hope everyone is well and I hope there is light in your days and nights and each day of healing gets easier. I am still searching for my light.

With love,
