Life was very, very, very good to me in 2014. There was lots of healing and growing in 2014. I'm proud of me! The beginning of 2014 was pretty miserable, and I will be the first to admit that. Hands down, I was not in a great place emotionally...although I definitely couldn't have told you that at the time. In March I had my wake up call: I found out that Abby and her adoptive parents were moving to Colorado. My (what I thought was pretty together) emotional state was shaken, stirred, and vomited all over my pretty little head. Luckily, I found out they were moving while I was at a Birthmother retreat. I found out that horrible, awful news when I was surrounded by a roomful of women that understood exactly what I was feeling; even if I couldn't articulate what I felt, yet. It took me an entire weekend of crying quietly in the shower and alone in the woods before I could even begin to understand how I was feeling. I am forever grateful for those women those weekend
