Welcome to Sacred Simplicity. My name is Karen. I am a 40-year old, widowed mother of four. I decided to start a blog to document my struggles, successes, and craziness, as I navigate through the unpredictable waters of grief, parenting, and life. This blog offers me a way to express the feelings and frustrations as well as the joys and celebrations I will encounter on my journey of life. My hope is to bring inspiration, faith, and maybe a little humor into your lives, as I try to figure out the new normal of mine.
Bravery or Stupidity
I have decided to create this Blog as a means of coping with the frustrations and grief that I often feel, but I also hope to share my joys, Mom-wins, and funny observations that create this crazy life of mine. I am not one to air my dirty laundry or my many musings for everyone to see, thus making me feel like I may be on the edge of stupidity putting this out there.
However, as I have been trekking forward on my personal grief journey, I have noticed that I am working through it much differently than most in my position. This makes me wonder if I can bring hope, comfort, and peace to others in similar positions by sharing these very personal thoughts, ideas, and faith in God. So maybe…just maybe, there is a little bravery bubbling up inside of me.
This blog will probably be full of typographical errors. I was not an English major. And there will be posts of raw emotion, venting, and stuff and nonsense, but it will all be a part of me.
Since this is MY Blog…MY story…MY life…I have a very simple request…
Be Kind in your comments, thoughts, and critiques. If you disagree with something I post, which is something I expect, please know I understand that everyone has a difference in opinion …but it is NOT ok to be disrespectful and unkind in your words.
I now begin this part of my healing adventure. Let’s see if it is one of Bravery or Stupidity!!
God Bless!!
