Hi Friend,

Thank you.

Thank you for viewing this site.

Thank you for your courage.

Thank you for acknowledging hard truths about your reality.

No matter how your journey has been thus far, you are welcomed here just as you are. You are in this moment for a reason and created for more than this.

May your soul find rest here.

May these words, music and videos you find touch the deepest pain you’re navigating and help you see clarity in the midst of blurred confusion.

May you find glimpses of wisdom and take refuge that you are not alone.

May one of these pages be a connection and direction of light in your darkness to see that your beautiful, limitless life is capable of reaching and going beyond what you think is possible for yourself.

All the…….

and trauma you’re feeling will be worth seeing the other side of this. Your path is so, so heavy and you will find your way. You, your story and your life can be hope-filled and you are made to BLOOM!

Blessings On You,
Bethany

My Love

You are my person! Thank you for loving me. Thank you for wanting me. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for loving and choosing the kids. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for believing in this. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for marrying me. Thank you for cooking. Thank you for doing life with me.

Forever and always.

Mom and Dad

Thanks for giving me life. Your unwavering love and support is why I am still standing. You both have always been and are always present to talk to, listen, and eat with. I appreciate everything each of you are. Thank you for loving each other and emulating what marriage and love is, not only with words but with your actions. I love you Mom and Dad!

Josh

You are the greatest cousin-friend. All of my childhood memories are wrapped up in you - Halloween costumes, playing house, holidays and sleepovers. You were there for me for all of it. And as I sat in my empty bedroom floor on the last day of my old life, you still were the one there. I cannot explain how much you and your friendship means to me. Thank you for being insane, spontaneous and yourself.

Em

There are definitely not enough adequate words to express my gratitude for being not only my “big” sister but my best friend. From giggling between the cracks of our bunkbeds, to navigating anything life can throw at us, you are my rock. I am SO thankful we are neighbors (again) and that we are so connected. Thank you for feeling all the feelings with me and for me. You are the best sister ever.

Auntie Amber

Thank you for the privilege of growing up in your household. Your home is open to anyone who sits at your kitchen table for a dump bar brownie and each person is always met with meaningful conversation and a full cup of coffee and joy. Thank you for living out loud what it means to love well. You have touched countless lives and I am blessed to be one of them.

Mallory

My BFF since 8th grade. We’ve done a looooooot of life together. You have always been the one to optimistically see the good, laugh at the weird and keep me grounded. Thank you for always being a listening ear and someone to vent to. Thank you for being present, intentional and always having words of comfort and kindness to share.

Buzz

The way you went from being my annoying little brother that stole my doll to the sweet brother who bought me my new bed for my new life, is still baffling but wow I am grateful for it. You are the one I turn to for wisdom and knowledge and there is literally nothing you and your determined self cannot do! Thank you for not being annoying anymore.

Grandma KK

You are the greatest mother-in-law on the planet. Thank you for your wide open arms and heart towards me and the kids. You met us with nothing but grace and kindness. You jumped head first into grandma-life and we are truly blessed to know you. Thank you for raising your son the way you did and for teaching, guiding and loving him so well.

Karen

Our blossoming friendship is quite the unusual story and from the depths of my soul I have been thankful for you every step of the way. Thank you for being the safe, warm and soft mom the kids needed at that time and providing them with a loving home. Thank you today for choosing to foster the kids’ sibling relationship while our own friendship grows right along with them. You are a gem and I am so, so, so thankful for you.
