JUST CHANGING FORM ON OUR ETERNAL JOURNEY
I am grateful for the almost 54 years my late husband and I had together before he transitioned, but simultaneously just so sad. I even feel selfish as I admit I wanted more…it wasn’t enough. How could 19,775 days not be enough? When it’s so good, I guess, especially at the end. We always loved…

My Story – Time To Let Go
I realize now that “my story” about myself had become a prison of sorts – defining my limits of well-practiced worries in my own mind. Do you ever feel that way? That what you tell yourself is true even though you know it’s based on fear? I truly believed that losing my husband would be unfathomable,…
