You Take You With You!!!

After losing my mom, I couldn't take the constant reminders of her everywhere in D.C.--the streets we walked, the smells of her favorite foods, even the smallest things like the sound of traffic or the corner stores we loved.  So, I ran.  I packed up and moved to Annapolis, Maryland, hoping that distance would bring healing.  But when I got there, the pain followed me.  I realized you can't outrun grief--it travels with you until you face it.

To my listeners: it's alright to be in pain. Don't rush your healing.  You can move cities, change jobs, or fill your days--but true healing starts when you sit with your feelings and work through them.  Have you ever tried to run from your pain? What did you learn when it finally caught up with you?
