The Climb: Why I Believe in Divorce

Posted by alisonchrun in Family, Kids, Self Development

  Believe it or not,  my divorce has been the most spiritually rising experience of my life. Who’d of thought, huh? I guess depending on the kind of marriage one had, what one went through and how invested one was, well that could assist in determining the transformation on the other side.

Leaving a Life to Find a Life

Posted by alisonchrun in Self Development

Fear. Its meaning is different for everyone. What we fear is individualized and customized just for us. Some may fear abandonment. Some may fear death. Some may fear loneliness.

Hello Grief, We Meet Again

Posted by alisonchrun in Family, Parenting, Self Development

I’ve spent the good part of a year in a state called “Grief.” My grief is not unique to others. My grief is not a new kind that’s never been felt before. My grief is not deeper than someone else’s.  My grief is not different at all. My grief is the same kind you feel.…Read more »
