I have felt broken so many times that I’ve lost count at this point. Ya know what? I wouldn’t change one of them. I wouldn’t change them because these challenges were often the very thing that drove me deep dive and find indescribable inner treasures.
I’ve experienced this so much that now when some challenge arises I begin to look for the opportunity and the treasure with an expectancy even while I might be feeling lost, confused, sad, alone, or whatever the feeling. I no longer let these feelings of despair be my guide as I’ve learned through countless experiences that they are like a fog that is hiding a beautiful and bright light. I only need to persevere, go deeper within, and eventually that fog will lift. The beautiful thing is that this never leaves me where it found me but always, always in a better, more peaceful, and a more beautiful place with deeper clarity.
No matter how heavy the clouds might look, the sun never stops shining.

Entirely agreed dear Jane.
I am from Germany and want to Thank YOU from my heart for your words and daily wonderful and colorful sweet Art.
I love also – and adore –
your little pup – like a doll –
by your side at your feet.
I too do NOT want to change or miss the difficult, sad and horrible ( devastating) challenges in my life; because of them I became stronger, ( inner strength) and much more sensitive and patient ; because of them I got more experience to deal with difficult things, issues and problems as well with people in my work or in private times. (Because many health diseases – Leukemia – I am already retired !!!)
Because of the various challenges I got also the ability for better understanding; self-confiance and inner patience and peace that is so important in these times of COVID 19 etc.
Your words give me HOPE and optimism NOT to give up in my life because coming Friday – October 9th – I await two severe and complicated Spine – Surgeries.
MY WHOLE LIFE DEPEND ON THESE SURGERIES.
It’s really scary; I am so afraid.
I too have a little pup – a Maltese-girl named Onya…she too gives me Hope Not to give up; to stay positive and to look forward in optimism. I have to trust the surgeon; there is no other choice! She, my little pup, is my One and Only; she is loved “to the moon and back” !!
There is NOBODY to talk about my inner fears and anxiety.
There is nobody to hold my hand or to give me a warm hug…
Therefore I appreciate so much your daily words – so grate fully !! Though my English is not at all the Best every of your words and deep sense is understandable – also a perfect exercise to improve the language.
Again my biggest Thanks with lot of Hugs with Love from Germany dear Jane. Give your cute and fluffy sweetheart a little noselick and tummy tickles.. 🤗.
( I know and didn’t forget that sadly you still miss your Pup Prince in spirit)
Please take care and stay safe on those times.
And stay as you are !
Thank you for everything with heartfelt blessings,
Sabina in Germany enjoying a little the colorful Fall…
xoxo ❤ ❤

Dearest Sabina, You are never alone no matter how it might look. Get quiet and listen within sweetheart. There is a Presence within you that is always with you–holding your hand, sitting at your side, loving and caring for you. These really aren’t just nice words but truer than true–truer than anything that would suggest otherwise. The challenges I’ve experienced led me to find this within myself and I know it’s in you and everyone as well. Right here. Right now. Always. I will be supporting you in this. xo
