Heaven is a World of Love

'The world breaks everyone, and many are strong in the broken places.' - Ernest Hemingway

At the end of 2017, I prayed my heart would be reopened to love and to possibility, that my broken heart would be healed. What I have found on the other side of that prayer is an answer - joy, flow, self-worth, peace, and love. The things I love that I gave up in the pursuit of permanence never left me; I merely needed to allow myself to enjoy them once again. 2018 has since been a process of the healing that I had prayed for at the beginning of 2017. And I find that I am surrounded by a world of love.

Happy Valentine's Day,

Josh
