I love the metaphor of the great ships and they were not built for being moored in harbors.
Two years ago my husband and I left everything behind to follow a dream. It has been tough going. About three weeks ago my husband survived three heart attacks. One would think there is only joy in the fact that he has survived, but the aftermath has thrown me into a deep and dark pit. Why this journey? It is lonely and it is hard. Every so often despair comes knocking at my door.
I cling to Women who run with the Wolves. The writings and my relationship with my husband are the only things that make sense right now. But I know we will get through this.
My "soul on deck" story is about sharing our journey and the growth and joy it brings. I am doing this through writing. I want to inspire others and let them know it is possible to homage the Wild Woman inside and become who they were meant to be.
Thank you for this post. There's a reason why I came across it at this moment in time.
And thank you for what you share in who you are.
