Moving On

It certainly has been awhile since I last posted. Life has thrown me some curveballs in the last month and a half which has kept me away from my blog. I finally moved into a new apartment, but the moving experience was far from a pleasant one. Moving is rarely easy. However, I had quite a few challenges with this particular move, and the stress was very overwhelming at times. (The details of this “horrific move” require a very detailed explanation which is entirely too confusing to post in a blog.) Nonetheless, I am certainly stronger for it; I learned quite a bit about myself from it. And on the plus side, I made some new friends. But let’s just say I’m so glad it’s over.

As far as Withstanding the Lie goes, there was an excellent article written in our hometown newspaper, The Town Times about Withstanding the Lie. I’m very pleased with the article, and I believe that Sue Van Derzee really captured the essence of what we’ve been trying to do with the book. I am very grateful to her for her time and effort, and it’s all very encouraging for both my father and me.

Otherwise, not much else is going on with me. I am just trying to “right” myself after a very stressful few months as well as trying to figure out my new life in a new apartment with two new roommates. Let’s say that I’m looking forward to this change in my life. I believe it will be “good” for me to live and be and do things that I’ve never done or considered doing before. For a long time I’ve wanted to really grow as a person. I’ve wanted to come out of my shell, make that giant leap to the point where I felt I wasn’t holding back who I felt like I was from anyone. I believe the recent changes I’ve made in my life will get me there. It won’t be easy, but I truly believe that I am on the right track.
