Dear Diary...

<p>I decided to curate a collection of my thoughts and musings over the last five years as a published testimony of my life; growth transformation and hope.</p><p>Some will be entertained.</p><p> Some will be inspired.</p><p>Some will find an answer to a question that has long bothered them.</p><p>Some will see my heart in all of it and they will be challenged to find their heart.</p><p> </p><p>I love who I'm becoming now but five years ago:</p><p>Living felt like a burden</p><p>Hoping felt like being stabbed in the heart</p><p>Dreaming made my brain hurt.</p><p> I could have given up sought relief in death but I didn't.</p><p> </p><p>My prayer is that anybody out there who is struggling: be it with anxiety depression addictions hard economic times family conflict and spiritual wars; will hold on for just a little bit longer.</p>
