The Blessing of Adversity

It’s April 8, 2020. The Coronavirus has made its way around the globe and people are stunned and scared. Who would’ve ever imagined the current state of our world today with Stay Home orders, quarantined living and toilet paper hoarding. The grocery stores have taped the floors to ensure six feet of distance between us. We have either been working from home, schooling from home, furloughed from our job, or just plain laid off. People have contracted the virus, recovered from the virus and/or died from the virus. There is no doubt that these are trying times and adversity has come knocking on the door or many of our homes.

Living the Life.

I heard someone say once that obstacles are opportunities to walk in your greatness. I wish I could remember who to thank for that little nugget because it rings in my ears at every unplanned obstacle. If life was always perfect and easy-breezy, there would be no opportunities to grow towards our very best versions of ourselves.

LIVE.

People are hurting. People are living in pain and anguish all around me. I see it sometimes up close in family and friends, and sometimes hear or read about it from a far via the news and social media. So here is another attempt because after hearing of yet another suicide, the burden is heavy.

Journey with me.
