It was one of the most difficult times in my life, relocating to South Carolina, feeling estranged from my husband, and working 14-hour days in a new school. Every day was a practice in faith. Small gifts of unexpected joy came from a cup of coffee, laughter with my students, and having a Unity […]
The difficult times we’ve lived through are not there to represent how hard life can be, but to show us the truth of our strength and our ability to know, “I’ll be okay.” Memories still surface of my own two by four experience on this path 14 years ago. My marriage was falling apart and […]
