At 22 and 42







At age 22 I didn't have a clue but had my husband and baby too.Lived inside an old business school, which was really cool and big too.
My heart was full of optimism, energy and hope.

Drove a used Omni car, it got us here and there; but not too for too long by far.
I did what I could to love my baby, husband as I best could. 
My friends were so close: next door, upstairs and a stroller walk if I needed to see them and should.


Now at 42 I know enough to say I probably still don't have a clue.Living in a house full of life and promise and time.I drive my days and hope to stretch them to last just a little bit longer and fuller.
How about you?

Doing my best, knowing I'm blessed and thankful for grace to start again.
My heart is open to what's just round the bend and beating with the hope that brought it to life way back then...
at 
age
22.

 How about you?

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
