Makin' a comeback

     So, clearly I have not posted in quite a while. 16 months, to be exact. While there are many reasons for this, it all boils down to the fact that my life has been an absolute shitstorm for the past year-and-a-half. When my life gets into shitstorm mode, I am prone to display hermit-like tendencies making it difficult for me to update the masses on my comings and goings. I won't begin to bore you with the minutia of all that has changed since my last post, however, I will say that the most significant update in my life is that I am in the process of getting divorced.  I do not intend on discussing the details of the divorce in this forum, but I can say that this has been the most heartbreaking year of my life--and this includes the year that doctors found dientamoeba fragilis trophozoites floating around my large intestine.
     I am moving forward into a new season of life and already much has changed. In May I graduated from Mars Hill Graduate School, in July I said goodbye to Seattle and reloacted to Nashville, and in August I started a job working as a therapist/case manager at an elementary school in Nashville. Lots to get used to.
     One of the things I missed the most this past year was my ability to write. For the longest time I was unable to find words to put to my loss and confusion. I stopped journaling, I stopped writing music, and I stopped emailing and corresponding with many friends.
     But as my heart has begun to heal I find, once again, that I have things to say. Some of them are sad, some are angry, some are funny, and some still don't make much sense. I'm ok with that. I am greatlful for a handful of close friends who walked with me as I attempted to make sense of the unraveling that this past year has been. For those who have not heard much from me this past year, I am sorry I could not give you more and hope that you can understand my absence.
     That's all from me for now. I am excited to write and I am excited for you to read. So, here's to finding words. It's about time.
