The truth will set you free....

Truth....honor.....integrity...... All words that are positive yet sometimes hard to live by. However, when you do, and when someone decides to attack your truth, your honor and your integrity, for their own selfish desires, then it is comforting to know that these words are truly an armor which will protect. Because of this protection, others with those same core values will rally you and uphold you during your unbearable hardship and bear your burdens with you. I am so grateful for this truth and this belief.... I know that I am not a perfect person, but I do know that I strive to live these values. I am grateful for those around me that have defended me and hopefully continue to defend me as I and as we all try and live these core values....yes.... the truth will set you free.....

Heart is hurting...

Just when you think that all is good in your life.....

When you think you are learning how to balance what is right with what makes you the happiest, a monkey wrench gets blown in, and helps you to reevaluate those wants and needs. This is NOT the easiest thing for me to go through nor is it the first time. You would think by now that I would have learned the first 2 times and kept my heart and soul guarded, but I think I was craving it and I believe I enjoyed the adventure while it lasted.... Yet, right now, RIGHT NOW, my heart is BREAKING.... the more stuff that comes out the more my stomach aches and my heart yearns for protection. Yet it all boils down to this.... "it is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." (Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets)
