I have been changed by the traumatic experiences I have been through.

But… I am still me.

I am still Mari.

I have seen death, and survived a brutal divorce, and it has altered my heart permanently; but I hope my heart is changed for the better.

I don’t want to always stay the same, I want to grow, develop, and improve.

God wants me to keep going and keep growing, too.

I guess that is why I want to write more again… it is something that I love and crave.

It is something that I feel driven to do.

I was once told that no one cares what I have to write.

I care. It matters to me. It matters to God.

And if just one other person cares… (Mom, that’s you)… that is good enough for me.

Much love,

Mari
