When I was young… I was sure that I was going to lead a big life and change the world. I was sure that I was here to do something big, something important.

I kept waiting for my mission to show itself.

Until it did, I just focused on living… But my life seemed relatively small.
I finished college.
I got married.
I got a job… sure that it would be temporary

I loved my husband, my family, and my friends.

In my job, I helped people with disabilities become employed. It was good work. It was worthwhile work. And yet I craved more… Bigger, better, flashier.

And I waited and waited and waited for that mission… That bigger life…

That temporary job lasted 20 years. I never kept count, but I’m sure there were hundreds of people that found jobs in those 20 years.

My family continued to expand and contract as some members passed, and some members were born.

My husband and I have known health as well as illness…

And that grand mission never materialized…

Unless it did… And maybe this was it?

I’m glad you’re here💜
