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.

I was thrilled to see that you had blogged because I love to read along. You are a gifted writer.
However, I am so sorry to hear about the things you have been going through. I pray that you will feel the Lord holding you close...and that those friends will continue to walk with you and love you during a tough time.

cheers to your comeback!
Randomly checked this to see if it still existed and, lo and behold, an update! So sorry to hear that it's been such a rough year for you :( Hoping that things are on the upswing with your new situation in Nashville. Sounds like they are. You should get back into music since you're in just about the best city for it.
All the best...
