Life comes in seasons that are sometimes off-kilter to the world's seasons. Winter periods of dormancy and slowness, where we feel like nothing is happening at all in our lives or we're waiting for our lives to begin. But the thing about seasons is that life begins and ends all the time.
That stagnant corporate job? That'll come to an end at some point. Writing your novel, that'll come to an end at some point, too. Moving into a new flat, well, that's an ending and a beginning in one. There will be a new novel to write. A new stage to your relationship. A new cat or dog. A continuous revealing of more of who you are.
Those families in their homes, those people with career success, they're just in a beginning season and there will be an ending season soon. I'm 36 and my life has ended and begun again countless times already. And I look forward to each one.

I loved reading this. You have such a way with words. <3
Oh my goodness, Tara, your writing never disappoints! All of your devotions always resonate and strike a chord I didn’t know need to be stricken. Love this excerpt so much:
“ Sometimes, I stretch too much, and everything snaps. Instead of being shot forward into my life, I’m pulled back and mangled mid-air, landing loose and heavy back where I started.“
I wish I could get on the preorder list for your book.
I know your parents are already proud of you as so many are already. Love you, beautiful soul.
