“True strength is keeping everything together when everyone expects you to fall apart.” —Unknown

The last few weeks have been incredibly difficult for me and my family. We’ve endured 3 separate tragedies in three weeks. We lost 2 cousins and a brother in law.

The pain is real. The unknowns and unanswered questions; absolute madness.

I don’t usually share my personal experiences in this platform, but the reality I’m living is not uncommon. We’ve all experienced the reality of pain and heartache.

Life is hard.

Life is beautiful.

Life is beautiful and hard at the same time.

We must be willing to grab hold of the beauty and grow from the tragedy.

Transitioning from deep pain to profound purpose may feel impossible, but it’s not.

It may be the most challenging thing you’ve ever endured. But peace is on the other side of your pain.

Allow purpose to lead you to the other side. Allow it to lead you to your peace.
