Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine, regardless of the circumstances, was both special and emotional at the same time, one we will never forget. Last week, we moved all our big furniture and most of our belongings and on Thanksgiving, we spent it cleaning up the new home and arranging everything before our gathering with close family the following day. I usually am full of energy and given that we had no time to plan anything out, I opted to order a pre-cooked turkey and asked my family to bring a potluck dish instead of my usual spread of a home cooked feast of family favorites. Not many pictures were taken this year for lack of motivation. Seriously, I can't even believe that I didn't take one photo except a few with my iPhone... Anyways, having my close loved ones at our new place was comforting. Hearing the laughter echo and to see familiar faces has made me very thankful for the people in my life. I have so much to be grateful for that I can't complain. Moments of despair can truly be a blessing in disguise because it opens your eyes and brings you to reality. It pushes you to your limits where you no longer can rely on your own strength, but on the strength that comes from God and the people he placed in your life to help carry you through your darkest hours, bringing you closer to one another. Once again, I am humbled and forever changed by life's unexpected turns...
This song "Life Uncommon" by Jewel has totally described what I feel and am striving to do and I hope to instill in my soul. Her voice and her message is so empowering that it has moved me to tears every time I listen to it.
To lead a life that is uncommon, takes bravery and courage, hope and faith, and most of all LOVE.
God bless....
Don't worry mother, it'll be alright.
And don't worry, sister, say your prayers and sleep tight.
It'll be fine, lover of mine,
It'll be just fine.
Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom.
No longer lend your strength
to that which you wish to be free from.
Fill your lives with love and bravery,
and you shall lead a live uncommon.
I've heard your anguish;
I've heard your hearts cry out,
"We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out."
Set down your chains, until only faith remains.
Set down your chains,
and lend your voices only to sounds of freedom.
No longer lend your strength
to that which you wish to be free from.
Fill your lives with love and bravery,
and you shall lead a life uncommon.
There are plenty of people who pray for peace

it would have come to be.
Let your words enslave no one.
and the heavens will hush themselves to hear
Your voices ring out clear with sounds of freedom.
Sounds of freedom.
Come on, you unbelievers, move out of the way!
There is a new army coming,
and they are armed with faith.
To live, you must give.
Give, and lend your voices only to sounds of freedom.
No longer lend your strength
to that which you wish to be free from.
Fill your lives with love and bravery,
And you shall lead...
Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom.
No longer lend your strength
to that which you wish to be free from.
Fill your lives with love and bravery,
and you shall lead a life uncommon.
And don't worry, sister, say your prayers and sleep tight.
It'll be fine, lover of mine,
It'll be just fine.
Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom.
No longer lend your strength
to that which you wish to be free from.
Fill your lives with love and bravery,
and you shall lead a live uncommon.
