Background:

Welcome to my blog. I created it to share how I found a silver lining from a traumatic event in my life. I hope the content will help you do the same.

As you know, we are not guaranteed a pain-free life. Traumatic experiences are part of being human.

Through my own unforeseen circumstances, I learned I had a choice as to how to respond. I could be angry and stay “stuck” or I could accept it. I chose the latter.

The cliche that “life is short” reminded me that being optimistic is the most rewarding path

My trauma?

In August of 2018, the father of my children took my 18 year-old son from me without need, warning, or consent.

Over 2400 days have since passed. My son has yet to be returned despite the continual violation of his human rights.

The silver lining? I realized the only law we need to follow is the one of human decency.

“Do unto others” is the key.
