This story is really incredible. You have a lot of strength and faith. Handling all of this. You could write a novel based on these events! Just imagining some of the things that you describe in my head made me feel uneasy.
Thank you so very much Alexander for taking the time to read this story! Telling me I'm strong was surprising to hear. Sometimes (most of the time) I don't think I'm that strong. I was raised very disciplined on dance so maybe it's inside of me. It was very challenging to live in a home we built as a family and end up with the city's worst issues on either side and no one came to help. It taught me to be prayerful in a mighty way, but I began to know I was crumbling inside, despite the beautiful distraction of our life with three kids. I believe God speaks messages to us through all the strife if we're blessed enough to listen and pull ourselves out - as you said in your recent stories of "survival!"
You are filled with Holy Spirit, that is very clear to me.
As far as Notes go, I just use those to communicate with the readers on daily basis and share about myself, I don’t use any other social media, so that’s it for me.
I think about that and then I think that I would be very annoying :) ha ha! I put a few up in the last few days - the one this morning was a shot from Coney Island :) I need to catchup with your writing and a few others! We just got back from church. Thank you for your support Alexander. It means so much. ox
Loved this read...lifes circle of crazy & beautiful experiences...you have endured Gods buffet plate of challenges to your faith & survived by staying true to it.
It was even more crazy to look back and realize how much "normal" we strived for with all the monkeys on our backs. A perfectly imperfect life. Always hopeful. love you. ox
Wow, incredible story, and how the puzzle was put together before you even knew the pieces. Amazing. You are a strong lady who has been through a lot and survived with grace, beauty, and faith. Thank you for sharing this lovely story!
Thank you so much for reading Carly! In reflection, writing all of this stuff is so cathartic, because I held so much of it in as we lived our blessed life or dealt with it when the kids weren't around - but I know deep down it added more aggravation to our marriage and our personalities. We took it out on each other. I'm grateful and thankful to "see" clearly that there is a path and there is always a hope. Sending you my love. ox

Btw, awesome shot in front of a small cafe!

P.S. What's the "secret" to Notes? lol :)

Thank you Alexander. I appreciate you.
I decided to try Notes recently but I think I'm lost in the fray! lol :) I have one poet friend who might see them.
You can also tag me in them sometimes!

It’s no trouble for me!

Beautiful testimony God is so Good. He always knows even when we don't.
He does. The greatest thing is to "see it." ox

Absolutely captivating. Beautiful testimony that’s still being written.
