Creating Anchors To Weather The Storms
It is no secret that I have had some major storms hit my life. As a mature adult, I have been through a lot of life's adversities, the same as many of you. However, after losing my husband in 2014 and then my son in 2017, both of them to suicide, numerous people ask me how I got through it all and what helps me even today.
I thought I would share with you just some of my 'anchors' that keep me moving through it all and beyond….
*My Faith in God. I honestly don't know how anyone gets through life or any major loss without having a relationship with God, knowing His truth that He is always with me, and that His plan is perfect even when it's so painful.
*My Community. I am so blessed that I have a rock solid core group of friends and family that have allowed me to lean on them, and have given me the space and grace to move through tragedy and adversity as I needed, not as others wanted me to.
*Learning more about how we are all still connected and guided even after loss. This has been huge for me! We don't talk much about this in our culture and I did not seek it out, but the messages I have received from my loved ones through other people has been the greatest gift of peace.
*Knowing my purpose. When I started helping other people become clearer on their vision I became very aware and knew that I had a purpose and what I do matters. It is the major reason I continue to do this work and most especially want to start focusing on helping young adults.
Do you have your own anchors you would like to share with me so I can pass them along?
I am starting to open up more about my story and shared about that openly in this podcast, I hope you enjoy and listen.
