We all experience opposites in life. Some are easy to get through or find a solution for, some are impossible to get through alone and have no solution. That is the beauty of it. We have to walk in trust, love, and faith.

My journey is one of opposites. At first I fought against them, and now I am trying to embrace and welcome them because I know they help me grow. I share my story and my opposing forces that work on me in the hope that it will bring some sort of peace to know we are not alone and that LOVE and SERVICE are the only way to make it through the opposition, the only way to truly live.

Amanda's Story | Walk Two Moons

“Don't judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins.”

This is the headline quote from my childhood favorite book “Walk Two Moons.”

When I was asked to join in on “The Journey Project” blog series on bringing people together through trials, I felt unqualified to say the least.

Brandie's Story | We aren't broken and we aren't alone

Since starting this blog I have had two major goals. 1. To offer perspective to those who have never dealt with trials like mine and 2. To create (or rather discover) a support system full of those who have dealt with trials like mine. 

The idea that no two trials look the same may seem obvious. However, when we stop looking at all the differences, we start to see that our trials and imperfections are the exact things that connect us as human beings. Dealing with imperfection is all part of the shared human experience.  

William's Story | No Matter the Outcome

I recently wrote a series of posts titled "Through the Growing Pains" (see part one here) In these posts I explain how incredibly inspired I have been by the strength of others. We are all on a journey and when we learn from the examples and stories of others, we can help build human connection. We may not all have the same trials but we all have trials. We are not alone in our suffering. Once we focus on what unifies us, instead of what divides us, our hearts will swell with love for all humanity. 

It is my hope that by sharing individual stories, we can all feel a little more connected and a little less alone in our own journey.
