#MyLifeIn5Words
It seems like many of my blog posts seem to be inspired by things I read on Twitter. I saw the hashtag MyLifeIn5Words.
Happy…. Grateful… Loved… Excited…. Hopeful
At the moment, those five words seem to sum me up best. I don’t know that I would have used those same five words a year ago and maybe not a few months ago. I am finally starting to learn to cope with my brothers murder. I know I will never truly get over it, but I have found ways to manage the anxiety and loss. I think I am finally seeing my life with direction and purpose. I feel that is largely in part to all of wonderful people I am surrounded by. There are those I have known a lifetime and others barely a moment, but all have had a positive impact.

I finally feel loved and I have built deep trust in several relationships. I lost the feeling of being loved and my security in relationships following Brandon’s murder. I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to truly trust anyone, and trust is paramount in any relationship.
Very enthusiastic and eager.

I have so many exciting things happening in my life. I finished a Tough Mudder in the fall (and holy cow was it tough, mentally and physically). I have a few big races coming up and I want to run a full marathon by fall. I love to watch my son grow and develop day by day into an independent, kind, and well-manner “little man.” Bluegrass Junior Woman’s Club is always doing incredible things in our local community and I am excited to see what the future holds for our group. My new friends at Shot@Life have inspired me already and I am looking forward to working with all of them.
