Dear supporters,
I feel torn between sadness and courage, anger and hope. And I have a great longing to spend “contemplative days surrounded by loved ones.” But I am lacking a “home” and, even more so, my family.
I would prefer to ignore Christmas this year because my family has been torn apart. My child, our home, our cats, our friends—all hundreds of miles away from me—while I work day and night to get my child back.
And yet, I find so many sparks of light and hope in the Here and Now that I can't help but continue to work on myself and the situation, to grow. And to "allow myself to feel joy” – even in these intense times.
Enjoy your families, your homes.
And when things get a little stressful or annoying in the family these days, please, pause and become aware of the treasures in your life.
All the best to you!
Mara
