I've reached a new phase in my life--yet again! I began this blog seeking solace from a busy and ever-changing world. I got a divorce, a new job, and yearned for my former life of raising children and using my creativity. I started a new life in 2010--in a new state, with a new identity--and opened up to the possibilities and adventures that lay ahead for me. Now, another new adventure in retirement is unfolding. This blogging thing sure does help . . .

Blooming Where I've Been Planted
This rings so true for me. There were times I was so depressed, I felt as if I was sinking in quicksand and I couldn't find any foothold with which to boost myself upward. I felt buried, but not only buried, but that pernicious roots and vines had engulfed me, wrapping around my whole body to keep me in my underground tomb.
In hindsight, I realize it as the refiner's fire taking me to a place I needed to be to realize I didn't want to be there anymore.
Now I am planted in a home 2,000 miles away from where I started, and blooming beautifully.
