Yet, this picture window to my soul is a way for me to move farther along the journey into the light. It is not ironic that my first post would come on Thanksgiving Day in the USA. America has become a nation in pain. A nation that has forgotten what it feels like to be it's brothers keeper, and surely a nation that has forgotten what it truly means to live and walk by the words of our faith.
I'm just as guilty. I've spent the past year healing my wounds and picking up the pieces of life. Yet, I did so in darkness with a bitter heart for all I had lost. I licked my wounds but kept them open and bleeding. I forgot that while I was bleeding, I was also healing. I had spent so much time keeping the wound open that I forgot that wounds heal from the inside out.
My heart and my life was healing and I was moving quickly past the pain and into a new life. A new beginning. Life is funny and painful at the same time. It's that old adage, "we look so long at the door that's closing that we don't see the one right in front of us that's opening."
That was me. But, I finally found the strength and the courage to open this picture window to my soul and let fresh air and new life in. Season's change and this new season is filled with a light I can't explain. So this new blog for me will let you peek into my picture window on a weekly basis. Here I will share my thoughts about this third rock from the sun, its people and places. I will share life from behind my lens - oh did I forget to mention that - I'm a photographer as well. See life through my lens on my website http://bit.ly/loniwebb-photography.
I'm all these things - mom, grandmom, leader, teacher, friend, lover of life, and just down right good person. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy my picture window view into life. I hope I don't bore you.
