No striving, no judgement, no should, just being.

No striving, no judgement, no shoulds, just being.

Today I begin the process of sharing my thoughts, my writings. I have found great comfort, solace, and peace in the words of others. So today, as my son Eli always said,

Why not.

Whose life I will touch whose life will touch mine. All I know is I am here, I matter, I choose to stay. Eli did not .

I begin the journey of telling our story, past, present, possibly what is yet to come. Hope
