A bomb has gone off in my life this week.
I am not ready now, if ever, to write about the nature of this bomb, but suffice it to say that:
It's a really big bomb.
Really big.
It has me teetering on the edge of spiraling back to my post partum insomnia and anxiety - a state that I never thought I would return to again, least of all without said post partum hormones to blame.
It has me questioning everything.
It has me more thankful than ever for my two beautiful boys.
It has me realizing that money and title and vacations and restaurants and losing weight and all of that crap I write about and think about really means nothing.
It has me filled with gratitude for support that has poured in. For friends that have dropped everything without question, for family that is saving the day.
It has me just trying to get through the day. Just get through the day.
I knew a pin was going to drop.
I just had it too good.

Sorry to read this. Hope things get better soon.
:( Sorry to hear this. Please let us know how you are doing.
Thinking of you, Shan... x
Sorry to hear, whatever the bomb may be. My mom always used to say that the strength of the human spirit is stronger than you can imagine because just when you think that you cannot take it anymore, you get through it. "It" in my family's case was losing my dad in a car accident when I was 10, then losing my runner/hiker stepdad (who raised me for the next 22 years) to a heart attack. Amazingly, one comes out of these experiences feeling stronger and more grateful for life than ever. I know they shaped who I am today. Good luck on your voyage.
Hang in there. You're stronger than you think you are, and whatever it is, you will get through it.
I love you. I'm here for you. Give me the word and I'm on e next flight to D.C.
Thinking about you.

I am so sorry. I wish there was more I could do than send good thoughts your way.
Losing Whitney was hard on all of us... Hang in there.
@ 12:14 - I don't know who you are, but you are awesome. This could be the best comment ever. :)
I am reluctant to say too much because I am not sure of the nature of your bomb. Regardless, I feel empathy for whatever it is that you are going through and feel a desire to reach out. I think the hardest part of being human is that it is during those times when we are tested that we feel all alone in a world that seems so unjust. The irony is that we always were alone and that everything that we truly need in/from life is within us. As individuals we each hold the power, strength, wisdom, instinct to not only carry on but to also grow from our experiences and to - in our own time - flourish. Hang in there:) Thinking of you.
Hugs. Lots of us are thinking of you.
I'm so sorry to read this post x

I hadn't browsed my favorite blogs this past few days and I was saddened when I read about this. Hope you're doing fine now.
I've been away, so I missed this. I hope you are ok. We went through a tough time this summer and it turned out ok. Email me if you want to talk.
