Sometimes God has a way of getting our attention when we least expect it. For me, it came through a beautiful painting, a moving song, the memory of my mom, and a little heart-shaped leaf. What began as an evening of music and art became an unexpected reminder that grief and gratitude, heartache and hope, can exist together. As I prepare to release Living in the And, I was reminded that the truths I've spent months writing about are still truths I'm learning to live. There's a lot of heartache in this world, AND there's an abundance of joy. Sometimes we just need a little light to help us remember where to look.
