It’s hard to lift yourself off of the ground and get back to it…..it just is. Whether something was taken from you, or whether you quit or gave up, or whether time just passed by until you lost track…it’s hard to get back to it. There are a million reasons why it’s hard…..and some of us have been stuck for days…some for hours, some for years. But we must love ourselves enough to begin again…..and not live as if we are dead….but live as if we are alive….knowing and remembering that this day is an enormous gift meant for us to be able to start over as soon as the sun rises and call it a day when the sun goes down, knowing that the sun comes up again tomorrow for yet another new chance. Please love yourself enough to begin again. You are worth whatever it takes to live, to thrive…to step back into life with your head held high and your heart full and your soul ready.
Beautifully encouraging words. Often times I think, the sun does rise each day with so much hope. I delighted in reading your reflection of brevity power-packed with so much goodness. You have dug deep and found your voice and for this I commend you and wish you well, always. Stay creative and keep the muse going.

I needed these words today and I’m so great full you have taken the time to write them. I have been stuck since losing my best friend my soulmate. I am so looking forward to feeling alive again. Thank you for creating this beautiful club of hope.
Thank you for your very candid, real and true words…………… Nothing that hasn’t been said before, by someone, somewhere, but, somehow when you put into writing these feelings, they hit me where I can hear them.
I needed this today because I have given up all hope of picking myself up again. I am older and have worked and worked and worked and survived ALL of my life. I now just don’t feel I can keep it up. Of course, I will. I will wake up and wonder if today will be the day that my life will turn around for the better, one more time. As it has in the past…….. but does not last.
I read your words and I know I am not alone. No matter how old I am…….. I can “begin again”.
Thank you Melody! The best of everything to you and your family.
I too can begin again.
