Perfectly said by Rian Kerfoot of Truth and Cake. “Keep listening to the drum beat of your cracked open, loving, overly optimistic heart. That’s how you rebuild a life.”

As I watched the sun set on the farm last night, this quote came to my mind. Rebuilding my life after a rocky year of ups and downs, ins and outs hasn’t been easy. I kept my focus on my healing and found my inner strength from my Savior. When I was full of bitterness, hurt, anger, sadness, and brokenness, I allowed myself the time to sit in it, knowing my pain wouldn’t be wasted. The peace of the farm reminds me of that journey.

Listening to my heart and loving myself one broken piece at a time brought me here…

Exactly where I need to be.
