My life is exploding. I’ve done this to myself. Or maybe I just said, “yes, God.”
After 34 years in the same house where we raised our two kids, my husband and I and our two dogs are moving to Asheville, North Carolina. Yesterday I drove around visiting friends, saying goodbye, ending with the last in-person gathering with my women’s group of 30+ years.
Why am I doing this, saying goodbye to places and people I love?
Because it is time for a new adventure. Because God says, here, explore My world. Enjoy!
And so that’s what I’m doing, opening my heart and soul to the many more adventures before me before I die. Not that I’m sick or anything, just getting older and saying, more, please. Saying yes to finding more people and places to love and discover.
Yes, yes, yes.
Dying of Love is what I hope for.
When I shall see my bonds broken,
My God will be my Great Reward.
I don't desire to possess other goods.
I want to be set on fire with his Love.
I want to see Him, to unite myself to Him forever.
That is my heaven...that is my destiny.
Living on Love!
--Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
