I want to take this opportunity to say, “Thank you.”
Sincerely, from the depths of my heart.
I am so grateful for each of you reading this.
The fact that you would take a break from your busy life to read what I have written is not only humbling, but motivating and encouraging.
Thank you for allowing me to process the shock, pain, anger, regret and all of the other emotions that I have written through over the last 10 months.
As you know this journey with Elliot has changed me. In a good way.
She has changed me and will continue to.
I know the posts have been deep and sometimes dark, but I could not have experienced the peace that I have had were it not for those of you who are reading, sharing, commenting and praying.
I will continue to write about my beautiful friend. How can I not?
However, I will also get back to posting on life in general.
I will try to center most everything around experience, strength and hope.
Thank you…for embarking on this pilgrimage with me.
It is often bumpy and at times I cannot see much further than my own face, but it is worth it. You are worth it…I am worth it.
If only we could see more than a fraction of our worth.
Our fear would dissolve in the truth of our potential.
We were born with a great purpose in mind. Each one of us.
We are being groomed for greatness.
On the days when you feel anything but great (and those days will come), if you remember nothing else, remember, you have been given this gift of life. With this gift comes the freedom of choice, the blessing of opportunities, the realness of humanity. I don’t care what you’ve done, what you’re doing or what you will do, nothing on this earth has the power to strip you of your potential.
Eleanor Roosevelt said it best, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Friend, You were born to be blessed. Don’t allow anyone or anything to tell you different.

No, Joy, thank YOU for sharing! God bless!
Blessings to you!
Anne is right. It is an honor; to learn from you, to share as well, and always to be pointed to the one who is over us all.
thanks,
Mark
Thank you, Mark.
I am so grateful that God takes my brokenness and pain and turns it into something beautiful.
Joy. Are you kidding? it’s an honor. I am so glad you are sharing this journey with all of us, and of course, it will have the sorrows and victories of your life, my Dear. I’m a better person from knowing Elliot through your eyes. Love you.
Anne,
You are like a breath of the cleanest air for me. Truly, you never cease to lift my spirits. I am so grateful for you. I love you!
