“We don’t want to be uncomfortable.
We want a quick and dirty “how-to” list for happiness. I don’t fit that bill.
Never have. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to skip over the hard stuff, but it
just doesn’t work. We don’t change, we don’t grow, and we don’t move forward
without the work. If we really want to live a joyful, connected, and meaningful
life, we must talk about things that get in the way.”

For the month of October, I will be writing every day on a topic of my own choosing, 31 days of Healing in Him (under the Nester category: Inspirational & Faith).
I don't pretend to have healing figured out. But what I have learned, through my own journey of healing, I will share with you here. My hope is that what you read here will encourage you to begin or continue the brave work of healing in him.
This is my story. But it also may be yours. Thank you for walking with me.

I really have enjoyed reading this has been very helpful I've been struggling with some of these things you talk about I was just curious of where the rest of the 31 days is this stops at 23 do you have that?
Dear Mary -- I am so glad you are finding this series helpful. To be honest with you, I did not complete the 30 days. It was a very emotional and challenging topic and I decided to take the pressure off myself, allowing what I did write to be enough. It's been a couple of years now. Perhaps it's time for me to revisit it and perhaps complete? We'll see. Thank you for reading and for taking the time to leave a comment.
