“When life brings you more heartache than joy, it’s difficult not to criticize your journey and the choices you’ve made. Sometimes you need to mourn the losses to heal and move forward. Yet there is invaluable inner wisdom you’ve gained from living THROUGH your struggles. Insight that might have been lost had you not faced the challenges that have shaped your life. Your journey may not have turned out as planned, but if you put aside the shame and look closely at your life, you’ll find that there are more blessings than you can count. Yes, there is struggle and pain on your path, but there’s also so much light. And if it hasn’t shown itself yet, I promise it’s coming.”
