An Ending, and A New Beginning

I started this blog with a lot of hope for the future. Things were going so well, and I was excited to share all that we had learned, wanting to uplift and inspire others with stories of healing and tools to make it through hard times. I still want to do that, but it will be through different means than I originally thought, for life has turned in a very different direction.

That's one lesson life never ceases to stop teaching me: it is unpredictable.

I have a new direction now, and new hope for the future. I have peace and joy in the decisions I have made, even though they are hard, and that confirms to me my decisions are right. We cannot control the decisions of people around us, but we can control how we react to them. Decisions were made in my life and I had to choose peace and safety for myself and my children over making others happy. I have no regrets.

All is not lost. There is always redemption. There is always the healing power of the atonement, and there is always hope.

I choose to be grateful for all I have learned and move forward with faith and excitement for all that the future holds. Join me on a new journey, a new beginning still focused on living a life of progression where we inspire each other to do and be better each day.

Let's continue on our journey of always and forever choosing the light.

 “Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.” (3 Ne. 11:10.) “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12.)
