Hope and Healing

The older I get and the more people I talk to, it is obvious we all have our struggles. Some are self-inflicted while others are entirely out of our control. Keeping to yourself when you are going through a hard time might feel like the safe thing to do but in most cases it is not the best plan for overcoming your struggle.

By turning inwards, our thoughts and emotions can take us on a downward spiral. I have found that hearing others’ stories can be very helpful. It reminds us that we are not alone in our struggle and it also helps us look at our difficulties with a different perspective. I’d like to share your stories of struggle (this can be done anonymously) and how you have worked through them, to help others who are struggling find hope and healing.

If you have a story you would like to share please email us at beautifullyquaint@gmail.com .

If you are going through something now or past events still cause heartache, I encourage you to read Lysa Terkheurst’s book, “It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way”. I am currently reading it and I have found comfort in it.
