Let it Burn

“Some people are in such utter darkness that they will burn you just to see a light. Try not to take it personally.” —Kamand Kojouri

What you see burning above are my old journals. So much pain on those pages. Almost 20 years' of burns—all started by the same person.

We moved recently, I wasn't ready. I didn't want to let go of the only home my children ever knew, but it was time. To be completely transparent (as I commit to be on this blog) I was forced into the decision, due to my previous partner's lack of responsibility to his obligations. But enough about him. No longer do I want this blog to be a place to vent about the pain someone in darkness has caused me. I want to focus on what I gained when I found my way out of it, to a much brighter place.

Although it was a difficult move for our family, it was a good one. We are in a new space and already making new memories. I burned all of the old ones (including my wedding dress) before we shut the door for the last time. ;)

A move is the perfect time for a fresh start! But, you can take the good memories with you. For me it will be my babies' first steps, the kids' first slumber parties, hurricane lockdowns, dance parties in the kitchen, back patio nights with friends...and my family coming over for Sunday dinners.

All of this to say, if you are ready for a fresh start, don't take the bad with you. Burn it...and get ready to be blessed more than you ever expected.

XO,
