Something New That Doesn't Quite Fit

Since being diagnosed with depression, I've felt this need to look out, beyond myself. You see, at the time I was diagnosed, I was halfway through reading a book call Desperate: Hope for the mom who needs to breathe {by Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson}. This book offered me encouragement in the fact that I was not alone in my many stay-at-home roles. It brought me inspiration.

These things, these lessons I'm learning as light is shed on the deepest parts of my heart are personal and important. The last thing I want is to keep all of this to myself. And so, I've started a new blog called Seasons Change.

The very idea behind that name is that nothing in this life is permanent. I know my dark season will pass and bring something new. Through the changes and the lessons, the sorrow and the joy, I want to share those things with you. I want to virtually link arms with you and run with enthusiasm to whatever life brings. I want to compare notes and have conversations about things that have become secrets but don't need to be secrets. In my God, there is no condemnation. No shame.

I intend to keep reviews and giveaways going here at Coffee With The Mrs. as well as sharing on the lighthearted parts of my life. And really, the only reason I started a new blog altogether was because I intend to keep it free from "commercial breaks". I'll still be enjoying my coffee and I hope you'll bring yours over. This new space is where I hope you'll feel comfortable curling up on the couch, turning down the noise in life, and talking with me about deeper things. I'll be sure to reply to comments and I've set up an email just for that blog should you feel more comfortable talking with me that way.

I hope you'll join me.
