Frankie and I wanted to say thank you for your prayers, love and encouragement. Also, thank you to all who shared your shingles and messy mind stories with me. It’s refreshing to connect with people beneath the surface and be real with one another.

This was a reminder to me that everyone is dealing with something and that there is someone else dealing with, or who has dealt with, the same thing.

With that said, I invite you to join me to…

pause. breathe. pray.

Let’s remember it’s a strength not a weakness to reach out and let others in. May we grow stronger within, and in community, by being real with one another and remember we are never alone. God is always with us and he puts others beside us to help us through.

With gratitude and hope,

Shawn
