Through tragedy, loss, and pain we can learn life lessons that will help us heal and live our best life.

oday reminded me why moments like these matter so much.

A neighbor called me and asked if I could help keep an eye out for her friend’s dog who had gone missing. Drew and I were in the middle of a game of Uno when I got the call. I asked him if he wanted to help me look for the dog, and without hesitation, he said yes.

He jumped on his bike, I got in my car, and for over an hour and a half we searched — street by street, calling out, not giving up. We were determined. And eventually… we found him. Seeing that dog reunited with his owner made every minute worth it.

It was one of those quiet but powerful moments that stick with you. A moment of kindness, teamwork, and doing the right thing simply because it’s the right thing to do.

I’m incredibly proud of Drew. Moments like these remind me how important it is to raise children with compassion, responsibility, and a willingness to help others — even when it’s inconvenient, even when it takes time.

Today was a core memory for me… and I think for him too. 💙

Imagine someone coming into your life, who gets your humor, laughs with you, respects you and your ideas, and wants all of you. They choose you every single day and they show up for you.

A man or woman that loves you won't be cruel or mean to you. They won't intentionally hurt you. They will be drawn to you in ways you can't imagine and they will make you a priority every single day. They won't lie, cheat, or disrespect you. They won't be careless with your feelings and they will never make you feel alone.

My favorite verse in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.....

For all you single ladies out there or those stuck in unhealthy marriages/relationships I hope you find this kind of love. It's out there, I promise 💕

We can't control what happened in the past, but we can choose to let go of the control it has on our life. The only way to do that is by letting go of the hurt and starting to live in the present. I used to try to control every aspect of my life, set my expectations high, and then wonder why I felt let down when life didn't go the way I had planned. There's nothing wrong with setting goals for ourselves; our future depends on it, but set realistic expectations knowing that life can throw curveballs. When I was 30 years old, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had just had my first-born baby, and I was determined to breastfeed him. I remember getting frustrated not knowing why I wasn't able to, and buying every breast pump that was available. At the time, I did not know I was growing a mass in my milk duct that I would soon find out was cancer. I had no choice but to feed him formula, and guess what - my baby turned out just fine, healthy and happy. 

I no longer dwell on the past, and I envision great things happening in my future. If something bad happens, then I will pivot, knowing this is just a bump in the road. There are always going to be ups and downs, and it's up to us to choose how we're going to handle each situation. I highly suggest, if you are struggling, to turn to the word of God for answers. I also encourage you to pray and ask Him for guidance. We tend to look for answers on social media and then wonder why we are so confused. For example, if you want answers on a relationship, you might have five different people on social media telling you five different ways on how to handle the situation - which one do you choose? The Bible is consistent; your answer will always be the same. It really is that simple. I'll leave you with a few scriptures:

ISAIAH 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
ISAIAH 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?

This was fun 🤩 I guess ChatGPT thinks I live a glam life. I wear Victoria's Secret Lingerie, read romance novels, drink wine, and have lots of cash just lying around 🤣 They did get one thing right and I wonder how many can guess what that might be in the pic 🤭.

One of the most significant indicators for me when evaluating a potential partner is a noticeable mismatch in energy during social interactions. If an informal encounter leaves you feeling uneasy without an apparent reason, it's essential to acknowledge the discomfort. That sensation of anxiety is your body's way of signaling potential issues. Heed your intuition; the apprehension you feel is indicative of underlying concerns. If you prioritize trusting your instincts in romantic endeavors, please respond accordingly. Further discussion on this topic will follow. Gretchen Lyn

I will be the first to admit that I tried to sabotage every dating relationship I had after my husband's passing. I didn't know why, and most of the time, I didn't even realize I was doing it. Sometimes, it took the voice of a friend in my ear telling me to stop the nonsense. In hindsight, I don't think I was ready to date, but I also didn't like being alone. I liked the dopamine hit I would get before and after the date. Truthfully, it was a distraction from the pain of losing my partner; I didn't want to take the necessary steps to heal.

Reflecting on my dating history, I've come to realize that my desire for connection stems from a deep-seated need for companionship. I've always thrived in relationships, and looking back, I understand that this stems from a desire for stability and love. Having had my first boyfriend in third grade I grew accustomed to sharing experiences with a partner. Without one, I felt a sense of incompleteness. While I may not have all the answers, I've learned that I value the love, support, and partnership that a relationship brings.

A crucial lesson I've learned is the importance of healing after each relationship ends before diving into another. If I could share one powerful insight with you, it would be to focus on nurturing your inner self. Take a moment to reflect on what you truly desire from a relationship and what you're not willing to tolerate. Identify the red flags that have disrupted your peace in past relationships and prioritize your own well-being by staying committed to your vision.

I'll be the first to admit that I've made some bad choices unintentionally, of course, but nonetheless still bad. But then I have to ask myself, what if I hadn't made those choices? My life would look so different now. And with that being said, I can honestly say I'm so glad I wasn't as wise then as I am now. I'm glad I was a little naive, naive enough to think I could turn someone into a better version of themselves, stubborn enough to think I could handle someone's abuse without ramifications, innocent enough to believe in someone's lies, ignoring my intuition. That version of me helped me become the strong, independent, and much wiser woman I am today: a mother to the most precious boys on this Earth, with a life in Florida, a place I had dreamed of living one day, and friends I would have never met and healthy relationships that I would have never established. So, look at those bad choices as stepping stones to the version of yourself that you are slowly becoming.

How do we process hurt and pain? Good question. Its hard, I mean really hard...

I was a loving wife and I took care of my husband, with no help or support until about 3 weeks before his death when hospice came in and relieved me of the simplest yet emotional tasks like bathing , changing bed sheets, ensuring his blood pressure and oxygen were normal. I slowly watched my husband deteriorate from this once healthy hard working man to a fragile unable to walk or eat 100 pound man.

I've been through divorce, loss of both my parents, surviving cancer, abuse, anxiety, and several surgeries that left permanent scars on my body. But nothing, I mean nothing would prepare me for what we endured at the end of his life.

I will spare you the details but know this, watching someone you deeply love slowly wither away, dying a slow agonizing death, and being alone is something so painful unless you've experienced it too.
