What is this?

What is this? I don't really know, other then a continuation of my updates and writings that I was sharing previously on Caringbridge of this journey through cancer and now widowhood and single parenting.

Maybe it won't end up being anything at all, or maybe it will be a glimpse into my heart, my life, my current situation, my testimony.

Whatever it becomes, I am touched that you are interested.

HeartLight Gala

Last night I had the privilege of my story being honored at the annual HeartLight Gala Fundraiser.  It was a beautiful evening raising awareness and funding for a place so dear to my heart.  I was surrounded by some of my "village" and could not have asked for more.  Ok, well, to not need to be a part of anything for grief support would be nice, but these are the cards I have been dealt and I'm going to play them as best I can.  I am so grateful to the HeartLight center and what it has done for me in my journey of loss and grief.  I hope that in time many other HeartLight facilities will be available to serve as a warm place to take a broken heart all over Colorado and the nation.

If you feel lead to honor Brandon in a donation to the HeartLight Center you can do so here.

Forgive my video quality, I am far from technically gifted....that was Brandon's forte...

    My dearest Christina, I loved watching your video and listening to your journey thus far! <3 <3 You are truly amazing! I am SO happy that Heartlight Center was able to provide extra support and be a safe place for you to express your grief. I agree with you wholeheartedly!! There is a need for loss and grief centers, all over the country, to hold the hearts and provide a safe place for those who are grieving. I am hoping that is in the plan for me, opening a loss and grief center here in PA :) I just need to wait and see if beating the big "C" is in God's plan for me . . . not sure at the moment. Love ya girl! You are doing good work!! :-)
    Also, you might want to let those who shop on Amazon know that if they order from http://smile.amazon.com/ they can choose a nonprofit and Amazon donates a portion of their purchase to a nonprofit of their choice. When I signed up, Heartlight Center was one of the nonprofits that they can choose :)
