Through a series of ups and downs, twists and turns, and many rocky roads, I have come to learn we are connected. I have often noted that life does not seem to go according to my plans only to see most around me nodding in agreement. While each of us face our own unique set of challenges and trials, we can find strength in our unified desire to overcome.
Here I will share my stories and strategies for healing and finding hope. I believe that our purpose in life is to find joy, or our “happily ever after,” not despite our struggles, but because of them.
“My dear brothers and sisters, the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.” President Russell M. Nelson, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2016/10/joy-and-spiritual-survival?lang=eng
