The Element

April 23, 2015 | 1 Comment

In the shock of grief, in the midst of death, in unfathomable loss and pain that makes your soul cringe just to get air you instinctively fight for normalcy.

And then at some point you realize the normal you want is no longer the normal you have.

And then you have a choice to make: to keep fighting for what has left you that you no longer have or to relent and surrender, accepting your powerlessness and with it the freedom and the healing to take hold of a new normal.

This is what I call the element of finding melodie in grieving, mourning, losing and learning how to love and live again.

The element of finding new music in your life and a new you.

I understand the language of grief and the vernacular of tears. I understand them both very well.

    You approach truth with a joy and sadness, a hope and honesty, that really speaks to hearts. Great words, my friend. A greater reality.

What I Know To Be True

Just when you find that sweet spot in life, that comfortable place, that uncanny familiar, change comes in like a flaming bat out of hell and whirlwinds all your comfortable up. If you’re limited in your thinking you’ll fight it every way you can. But, if you’re ready to grow, you’ll embrace change like a new love and let it lead you to growth you could never dream of but always sensed you desperately needed.
