I call my blog what I call it because I really am living a very different life from the one I expected. And it has been filled with lots of these "yikes, can we really do this??" moments. A couple of things I've learned are: 1) You don't have to do everything at once; you may live in 3 houses this year but you'll live in them one at a time. Thank goodness for time. It forces the events in our lives to take turns! 2) You are only expected to do what you can do, and then no more. That's a toughie for women of a certain faith. 3) Every time I've seen that Indiana Jones boulder rolling toward me, I've found the safest place to be is on my knees. <BR/><BR/>I wish you the very best, Hel! And I'll continue to check in on you as you discover your ability to not only survive but thrive in the life you may not have signed up for, but which you are obviously living with enthusiasm and faith. Good luck, my cute Australian blogging friend!<BR/><BR/>~DeNae from Las Vegas (the one place I vowed I would never live!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532225334730948057noreply@blogger.com
