Learning to Dance in Life's Storm

8/7/2015

When life gives you a storm, we need to learn to dance in the rain. And that is how I felt this evening as a big storm rolled in across the valley.

Abby and I had gone to Relics, her favorite rock shop, earlier in the afternoon. A soapstone statue spoke to my heart – a carving of a family of four holding hands in a circle. It reminded me of what was and is no more, as this 8th day of August marks two months since Jesse left our earthly presence and family.

There were a number of events this past week, that I took the kids to alone. Typically I would be strolling park grounds hand in hand with him while Kyle did his reenacting, or he would have walked with Abby and I to visit Marv’s memorial tree. Instead we find ourselves wondering if his memorial tree will be planted across the path from Marv’s.

I miss him so much, and the only way I feel I can cope is to stay busy and help others. So many people I meet are experiencing awful side effects from medications. Often I hear how they are told, “we are not sure what is wrong with you, but here is a pill, let’s see if it can help.” In other words, we are used as lab rats. This infuriating practice only makes me more passionate about teaching people how to make healthier choices so they can reset their bodies so it can heal as God designed it to do.

I am finding myself a single mom because of, what I feel is apparent after reading the side effects, opiate Rx meds. Yes, the doling out of medications without full disclosure is a practice that infuriates me. It is these feelings that motivate me towards His higher purpose. I know there is a reason I am here to weather this storm.

So on this day, I know that God upholds me when my spirit is feeling weak. As I shed tears in the rock shop upon finding the statue, Abby leaned in to give me a “public” hug. She has written her letters to her father, and tomorrow we shall get helium balloons and send them skyward.

I will continue to put each foot forward on this path in life, even when my feet will fail, and call upon His name when the “oceans rise”. The worship song, Oceans, really spoke to my heart at Blackhawk Church this past Sunday. It is definitely making my playlist of songs for the oasis. I am certain the words will speak to the heart of another soul who finds solace there.

I rest in His embrace, thankful that I am His,
Rita

Health advocate, educator and wellness consultant...I am a forever student of integrative and holistic approaches to wellness.
This blog is dedicated to everyone who is on a wellness journey. Each journey is unique, yet we may share commonalities. You and I may follow some of the same alternative and holistic brilliant minds who practice outside the box of traditional medicine. We may be eliminating the same food groups from our diets. Perhaps you have successfully turned your health around, as have I done, or you are eager to learn more of how you may do so.
With each and every day I believe there is a lesson to be learned. Life is an experience. We all make mistakes, I know I do! But the only true mistake is one in which we don't learn from our errors, or we cease to seek out knowledge from those who have become wise on the journey.
Much of the information on this website, and this blog, are the result of my own wellness journey, and my husband's journey with a terminal cancer diagnosis and an undiagnosed advanced Lyme disease - which ultimately contributed to his earthly body failing him. Yet his Spirit was intact and whole, and he rejoiced the day he went home to his Creator God.

It is my hope that you embrace LIFE, and live intentionally from experience!
