When faced with life's many challenges, most people turn to the superstitious rituals of their communities.
Touching wood, throwing salt, prayers to whomever. I, as a superstitious free person, like to focus on the next logical steps to take. This week I have been confronted by something that has been on the horizon for a while. It was a fear, a known possibility, and now it has been confirmed.
I will continue my blog/diatribe when I feel my energy has been refreshed, but I am asking for help from trusted friends at this point, and feel like my community is very supportive. Thankfully, I've had a ladies-only-retreat planned for several months, and my wonderful husband is like-minded that I need it as much as I do.
I don't feel like I need to reach to a higher power or spiritual guidance. I like that I feel comfortable with (again this theme shows up) evidenced-based treatment and am also comforted by the fact that others have gone through this and have reached satisfactory conclusions.
A life based in anecdotal and researched methods of treatment is a fine life for me. What I am most thankful for right now is the shared knowledge (again) of the folk, no matter what creed, who have faced similar challenges. It really does take a village, and I'm all for global community.
I would be more specific about all of this, but not only is it very personal, it has not been fully explored and I feel that I have found my support network and will continue in a path of proven practices for the issue.
I know you all care, and thank you for it. It's natural to care. Love to you all. If anyone feels like they want to talk privately, feel absolutely free. I'm pretty good at this point, and again thank you for any concern.
I also feel this is not the best writing I can do, but you get the point. I am sure you understand that when faced with something naturally upsetting, humans aren't the best communicators.
