Miscarriage. | the journal experiment.

https://maliaelizabeth.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/miscarriage

March 25, 2011 at 11:36 am ( Andrew. And now, to my heart. Of course, my heart has never stopped beating, and I have never been legally pronounced ‘dead’. But I think anyone who has had their heart. Knows that it’s possible for a part of yourself to die. Maybe that part is hope, maybe it’s faith, maybe it’s trust, forgiveness, happiness, or even love itself. I am suffering from that kind of loss, but also another one. Say, think, and feel about death on Earth? He was far away from God. Jesus himself prom...

8220;Here you leave today…”. December 20, 2009 at 3:38 pm ( Bella. I knew this day would come; it’s the last night I’ll be spending in my house on Los Coyotes avenue. Of course it probably won’t be the last night I spend in the house itself, but it is the last night I sleep in the house in. Bed — in. Room — and when I use. Key to open the front door. 8220;For I know the plans. I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good. And not for disaster, to give you a future. I know that Maybe is really s...

Humming. | the journal experiment.

https://maliaelizabeth.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/humming

April 20, 2011 at 12:52 am ( Andrew. During the past few weeks I’ve been traveling a lot. First I ventured south to beautiful San Diego for Andrew’s grandfather’s memorial service. Then, I left my husband behind and crossed the country to visit my best friend Lili in New York City. Finally, and most recently, I traveled to Mexico with my church community to serve the poor and build homes. In his absence, I felt a bit stressed. Needless to say, I was grateful to meet them and celebrate the life of a m...

Key Ring | the journal experiment.

https://maliaelizabeth.wordpress.com/2009/12/13/key-ring

December 13, 2009 at 3:10 am ( Andrew. Today was a weird day, as have been all of the days since approximately the week before Thanksgiving. Each day I wake up and assess what awaits at the other end of the emotional tight rope I’m walking — only to decide if it’s worth the potential risk of falling off. Obviously I answer with an enthusiastic, “Yes! What is causing this behavior? The sadness was present anyway, even without words. For now I am taking it one day at a time, trying not to think about too m...

The New Mrs. Clark. October 31, 2010 at 12:51 am ( Andrew. Somehow ten months has slipped by without a single entry. Wow! So much for consistency. Apologies to any Readers who feel I made lofty and empty promises. Particularly important highlights from 2010:. It’s important to give credit where it’s due and I believe that the thriving community of friends and family that we’re a part of is a large contributor to our martial happiness. It is so great to have good friends! How could I be sooo fortunate?

May 30, 2011 at 11:48 pm ( Andrew. Lately I’ve been feeling an urge to write, but with no particular sense of direction. So maybe I’ll just reflect on the many things that I’m grateful for at the moment. The past few months have flown by with busy schedules, full of both personal and professional commitments. In March I remember looking at the calendar and thinking, One day I am going to wake up and it’s going to be the 4. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public).

Letting Go: Step 1 | the journal experiment.

https://maliaelizabeth.wordpress.com/2010/10/31/letting-go-step-1

Letting Go: Step 1. October 31, 2010 at 12:54 am ( growing up. What, precisely, is the anecdote to a bad mood? To be fair, it’s a bit more than a bad mood; it’s a difficult relationship that consistently puts me in a bad mood. So how do I deal with this kind of recurring frustration and disappointment without acting like a martyr? How do I respond to irrational behavior without being cast as the impatient, thoughtless teenager who never grew up? By the way… why do I care so much! I’m a grown woman! 8230;...

2010: Project Humility | the journal experiment.

https://maliaelizabeth.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/2010-project-humility

January 19, 2010 at 1:11 am ( Andrew. I’m not exactly sure when my heart broke or what exactly caused it. My best guess is that a multitude of things contributed to its current condition. What I do recognize are the symptoms:. One moment lost in thought results in immediate tears. A perpetually gloomy mood that is only furthered by the gloomy weather (which I usually enjoy). Reminding myself to remain ‘in the moment’ so as not to be overwhelmed by the big picture. Tears, tears, tears. Enter your email ad...
