“I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.” Maya Angelou
With open hearts and minds, my children came to see where our new blended family will be living soon. This was their first visit here, and they willingly came, ready to get a glimpse of their future. I was certain that my children would feel the love and trust that we offered them as we showed them their new home, and they did. They rediscovered their inner strength after the trials and turmoil of divorce and breathed in relief, peace, and joy. They spent time with someone who will become a very special person in their lives and as he reached out for them, they embraced him with faith.
The last few months have been a time of great change, a time of reflection, renewal and re-creation. I have taken adversity and turned it into advantage for my children and myself, and this weekend gave us the opportunity to together explore our new life with courage, with hope, with love.
Welcome, dear children, to a new and wonderful life that is about to begin for all of us.
