Surviving Loss: Finding Hope After Tragedy
Thanksgiving morning in 2019 dawned with an unexpected, piercing sorrow. I lost a friend to suicide. The night before, our texts had bounced back and forth. He had things on his mind, but it wasn’t a heavy dialogue. I reassured him that life’s burdens would ease, and we made plans to talk on Sunday, hoping to laugh and lighten the mood. It’s a bitter reality to accept that he made other plans.

Monday Night Raw
The last twenty-four to forty-eight hours have been tumultuous at best, but first some background to set the stage.... I recently accepted a fabulous job that requires a cross country relocation and I couldn't be more excited.

Distance

In the quaint town of Solara, nestled between rolling hills and a shimmering lake, the anticipation of the summer solstice was palpable.
