Seeing CJ navigate her health struggles firsthand has given me a whole new level of understanding and empathy. Witnessing the exhaustion and stress of countless doctor's appointments put a lot into perspective. My heart aches for her, but I'm incredibly grateful we could be there for her, delivering collective hugs and love from all our Magic Makersπ Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible; your support meant the world.
But amidst the heartfelt moments, I also learned something pretty interesting about myself! CJ’s home is wonderfully calm and peaceful – what I now realize is, for me, *extremely* quiet. I never realized how much I thrive on a constant hum of background noise until I spent several days in that peaceful environment. Audiobooks, music, the happy chaos of my kids – I need that continuous soundtrack to my life. It's not loudness; it's a certain level of ambient energy I need to function. I guess my baseline "noise level" is higher than most people's – LOL! No wonder I spent a lot of time with my earbuds in, creating my own personal soundscape – nothing personal, CJ! Just a newfound self-awareness!
Leaving Oklahoma was incredibly hard. Tears wereshed, knowing we might not see each other in person again for a while. But I pray that changes soon
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season! Thank you again for your unwavering support, which made this special reunion possible. We love you all ππ
That’s what makes us all special and unique. Learning about ourselves. It’s even better when you can learn about yourself surrounded by people who love you for who you are.
