On Hiatus

Dear all,

I am writing to say that this blog will be on hiatus for a bit. I am grateful for this gift of being able to put writing as an outlet, and I have especially enjoyed hearing from people all over the world and random people who just write to me or even go to me and give me a hug, saying they have been inspired by my blog.

Right now, though, I am going through this very emotional moment of depression, and of loneliness. This means that I may put off writing for a while. There have been lots of drafts but I can’t seem to finish it. Does this mean there will be a new site or a new look? I have no idea. Whatever it is, I hope that when I do come back, I will be strong enough to share tidbits of my self and try to inspire.

 This blog has been going on for quite some time, and some of you (you know who you are) have been with me through it all. To you, to the readers, I say thank you, from the bottom of my heart which needs mending as of this moment. In fact, as a way of saying thank you, I am signing off with one of my all-time favorite quotes from St. Augustine..

  “Hope has two beautiful daughters. Their names are Anger and Courage; Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain the way they are..”

I wish I had written that!

 Here’s to the future and to hope and to coming out of depression and finally letting go of things we cannot change. I look forward to our continued adventures, and I pray that it will be soon.

xoxo,

 P.S. Please do not forget me in your prayers. Kindly include prayers for the eternal rest of my Paree Lito and our baby, Levi.

The following is a song that reminds me so much of how I feel as of this moment...
