What an interesting time we live in. One of my favorite bloggers/instagramers is Helene In Between. I have been following her since I was young blogger nearly 7 years ago when my husband first joined the Navy. This blog has had many changes, many gaps and many times where I called it quits. Why? Because I compared myself constantly and felt I didn't have a niche. I love Helene's optimisim and her belief that blogging is important. Won't lie... I have gotten some eye rolls from people, accompanied by "Oh you blog." Those words deterred me. I have no idea why I let their words affect me so. I LOVE writing. I always have. One day I hope to achieve a dream of becoming an author, but I always let someone else's voice stop mine.
Helene has impressed me and consistently spoken that, especially in this interesting time of life, I should blog. There is enough being filled with the media and being shoved down our throats of correct info and incorrect info; panic, fear confusion. But there is also those who have been a shining light of hope and peace. Today that is what I hope to achieve. I want to shine some light of love, kindness and peace to you.
Who knows how many will actually read this. I understand and am aware that my following is small. Though, even if just one person can gain a sense of security and strength while reading this, then I know it was worth it.
On my personal instagram page, I recently wrote out my feelings about recent events. I wish to share them here.
I can't predict the future, nor can I say 100% where we will be 30 days from now. What I do know is what I have felt. What I felt is All is well. All will be well. I have HOPE for the future. I know everything will be ok. This is just temporary and small blip in time (though it certainly may not feel like that!) I am not in fear. Fear is the great destroyer. Now we are following guidelines and such, but I have faith in what the future holds.
Spread Happiness.
Spread Kindness.
Spread Strength.
Spread Charity.
That is what we should be looking for, consuming ourselves with and focusing on. You can do It! I believe in you! I know you will be alright!
Xo,
A Navy Wife
